I first met Sheryll when Yusef was one. We went to a holiday bazaar where she was selling her book ...
which she signed to Yusef.
Our paths crossed again several years later when we were on the American Women's League Board together, but we didn't become friends at that time. Four years ago when I decided to quit teaching and wanted to do something meaningful, a mutual friend suggested contacting Sheryll. I'm so happy I made that call as so many new doors were opened to me when Sheryll and I forged a friendship.
The sweet kittens I rescued are living with Sheryll and being fostered by so many loving hands at her place. They are still doing well although they've had a bout of loose bowels lately.
This is Sheryll's Grandma who turned 89 in January. She is holding Percy.
Sheryll has decided to adopt little Percy. Isn't that just the sweetest face you've ever seen?
And this is Scout who protects the kittens.
And Mitsy who loves to lick the kittens clean.
I'm so thankful God placed Sheryll in my life and I am privileged to help with Operation Hope in any small way that I can.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Wishing you all much beauty and many blessings in the week ahead. Tammy

Tammy , you have such a big heart! One of the reasons I love you so much:)
ReplyDeleteYour table.. ha! Looks like the table at the cabin, years ago.. when all you and I did was scrapbook.
Hope you are having a great week!!

What a lovely post. I especially enjoyed it because after all I have heard about Sheryl and Operation Hope, I finally got to see a picture of her. She looks like the very special person that you have told me about. It is funny how sometimes, all it takes is the right situation for a friendship to bloom.
ReplyDeleteThe kittens sure look like they are doing well,and yes, Percy is precious. I can certainly understand why Sheryl wants to keep him. Keep the pictures coming. They are getting cuter by the day!!
Love,
Renee
that is wonderful! I love those kitties!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy, your post today has blessed me so profoundly ~ thank you! Reminds me of the verse out of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you; plans to give you hope and a future." He made you. He made me. He made those kittens. He placed all of us together for "such as time as this". Big hugs and much love, Sheryll ;-)
