Wisdom Women
As wisdom ages...and senior SLW are fully
"retired" from employment in ministries of one kind or
another...because of age and health needs...they still remain active in
the SLW mission. Here are some interesting examples.
Charlene Baller views retirement as a time for prayer and helping others. Charlene resides at the Living Word Center in Arlington Heights, IL. She visits residents at Luther Home just up the street from the Center. She lovingly brings living words to those she visits. Mariata Hartmann also resides at Resurrection Life Center, taking part in almost every activity. She makes it a practice to learn the names of the residents and workers at the Center so she can address them by name. Every evening before retiring she moves down the hallway, touches each door and prays for the resident for a good night. Leonilla Marque, is a resident at Our Lady of Wisdom Healthcare Center in New Orleans, LA. She works on mailings and prays mightily for their success. She is always interested in those with whom she lives, helps wherever she can, and brings a cheerful loving presence to everyone. Jose Moos, another hurricane refugee, is now a permanent resident at Resurrection Life Center, Chicago, IL. Jose is also a gregarious visitor with those who come to see her and prays for their needs. Meanwhile, she continues her favorite pastime of embroidering baby quilts.
