To connect the thousands of people here at Rest Ministries who have a chronic illness, are a caregiver, etc. we have our Sunroom social network.
If you are not yet part of it, we invite you to join us. If you are. . . well, we are trying to catch up with you!
Some people sign up but then don’t come back, some are there 3 times a day, and some people may not use the Sunroom a lot, but they love being a part of it so they know they can go there when they are feeling blue and want someone who understands. Many people are searching for social support and medical illness is a big factor in the reason why. There are even some groups in the Sunroom that offer faith based support for mental illness. We are happy we can provide a place where Christ is our foundation.
As the software platform we use, Ning.com for our Sunroom social network is updating their services and undergoing major renovations, we thought this would be good time to do some summer cleaning too so we can be all fresh come September. We don’t want to delete anyone who still wants to be a part of it, yet we’re more interested in active members than just high membership numbers.
GUESS WHAT? You will be entered to win a $40 gift certificate at our Chronic Illness Comfort Zone Bookstore!
If you are part of the Sunroom, can you please take the quick poll on your Sunroom activity!
Thank you so much to Fiona Burrows. Your devotional lifted my spirits. There are many days when I feel useless because I cannot do what needs to be done to help family and friends. I am beginning to require more help for myself. This can be discouraging. Thank you for your words of support.

Thanks Rest Ministries – this is a much needed fellowship group and I am looking forward to meeting some of the members !!
Thanks, Mickey! welcome! we are glad you are hear and our writers always love to hear feedback!
Hi. I am Mary Sires. Will someone please tell me how to be able to talk to people, and people talk back to me? I don’t know how to do it.. I typed something in yesterday, and got no comments back, so I figured I did something wrong. I am interested in being able to talk back and fourth with people. How do I do it? And is this “sunroom” the place that I can talk and be talked back to?
Hi, Mary! You did it correctly andisqw your message yesterday, but was having a tough day myself and didn’t have a chance to answer. To really connect with others join our sunroom at http://restministriessunroom.comand there you can set up a page and also participate in chat with others live if anyone is there at the moment,
You may not have the answers but merely thinking about the options forces your mind to go in a
new direction and you automatically let go of unwanted
feelings and emotions. Depression is a serious condition and when it spills over to a
clinical condition, then people have to sit up and take notice.
The quiz statements are shown below in italics and my
comments and answers in the standard font.
To admin:
Thank you for writing me back. I am sorry that you really had a touch day, the day before. I sure know what that’s like! Hopefully it gets better for you! Love, Mary
