First Presbyterian Church of Bismarck
Pastor Leanne's Message for the month of June 2025:
Update and Thanks...
It’s good to be moving around again, even if I am slower and hesitant to bend over! Who knew that Leukemia would weaken my spine! A series of compression fractures made the last few months miserable, but I am now receiving treatment for that as well as for my blood counts. I feel pretty good, just stiff. And my blood counts look pretty good!
Laying flat on my back, thinking of the church and my overgrowing garden was not a fun experience – but I have to say this: I received so many expressions of kindness and care, that I was over-whelmed. What a compassionate and generous church this is! I always had food, my house was clean, my lawn was miraculously mowed, and cards and flowers and phone calls and texts arrived, making me feel very loved. (And perhaps a bit unworthy!) I was wanting for nothing.
At church, staff bent over backwards to help me work from my bed… and offered CONSTANT reminders for me to slow down and not do anything stupid. And Audrey has been a gem, only grinning and not complaining when I texted her from my bed and asked her to come into my room and pick up my remote control which was two feet farther from my fingers than I could stretch.
Thank you all, for your help, love and concern. I am happy to be on the mend for this round, and appreciate you all for your care.
Leanne
