Time Out

By
I have been privileged and lucky to work for TIME OUT which was originally called The Elderly Sitting Service until the revenue became involved.

I am now in my 25th year sitting with and helping elderly men.  Over the years I have met some wonderful people and enjoyed every minute of looking after sick gentlemen.  One of my recent clients was blind and also had both legs amputated.  He was a real gentleman who never complained about his disability.  He was a Christian of the highest order and set an example to us all who find ourselves complaining about something and nothing.

Please pray for the people whoa re housebound who are looked after for a few hours a week by TIME OUT.  It is a wonderful service in Bradford.  If you know anyone who may need this kind of help, contact TIME.

To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money ..."
