8. oldal 1980.január 1. On the 18th of November, we celebrated with joy one of our residents Helen Veizer’s 20th Anniversary of residing in our Home. Helen is the person who for 20 years had tended our gardens so faithfully. The work of her hands could be seen throughout our grounds. She has been a champion of our Home and considers the past 20 years as the happiest part of her life. Although she is now having serious medical problems, she still tends her gardens. It is a punishment for her if she cannot tend her gardens on a daily basis. Bethesda can really be thankful for having such a faithful person to tend God’s beautifully growing plant life.

We are happy to be of help to all of our wonderful friends who visit with us each year in order to avoid the cold weather of the winter months. Our rooms at this time are all filled for the coming season. Won’t you all make plans for next year to spend the winter months with us. Thanksgiving Day was a blessed event here at Bethesda. Our day started with devotion and we continued throughout the day to give thanks to God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us. For many of us, we were happy that God gave us just one more year of life. At the average age of 84.5, we cannot know for certain how much longer we will be allowed to remain in our earthly home. Thus it is a special blessing to us to reach each new anniversary. After our morning worship service, we ate of the food that God had provided for us through the generosity of so many of you. We thank God for giving to us so many wonderful friends such as you all are. May God bless you for it. Our Home was presented with a very fine golf cart by our General Development Corporation. We are grateful to them for their generosity and we are now using it as an overall vehicle in our maintenance department as well as in other areas of our operation. May God bless them for their thoughtfulness. November is also the month during which the State of Florida makes its annual inspection of our facilities. It is this inspection that determines the approval of our license to operate in the following year. Bethesda has a tremendously fine report with all of our State agencies and we welcome their suggestions. Needless to say, we had no matters on which they were unhappy. It is always our desire to keep our Home clean, in good repair and acceptable to all of our residents. Needless to say, they were happy with all phases of our operation. On November 10th we laid to rest a real champion of our Home, The Reverend George Balia went to be with the Lord that he loved and served so faithfully. He was in part responsible for the relocation of our Home from Watervliet, Michigan to our present site in Palm Bay, Florida. It was he who located our present property and was instrumental in its purchase by our Convention. Throughout the years, he served our Home as a member of our board and as a friend. He often visited us and walked among our fruit trees and enjoyed some of the fruit of his labors. We shall not easily forget him and we will miss his counsel and his constant concern for us. Now he is with the Lord for which he strived throughout his lifetime. May God comfort his loved ones. At present we are already making preparations for Christmas. Please continue us in your prayers. Our work with ageing loved ones is a very rewarding one and we ask for your prayers and your letters of encouragement and help. God bless you all. Ernest J.
