During this holiday season, I ask you to please keep your neighbors in mind as we here at The Wesleyan are not only a community, but a family! Let us come together to celebrate all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us. Let us look after each other, not only physically or emotionally, but spiritually too. I also wanted to share that I feel blessed every day to be a part of such a vibrant community. You continue to share your talents with our entire community and to give back to our community in so many different ways. Thank you to our woodshop men who have created a beautiful cross that has been placed in the East Building entrance and has been blessed by our Chaplain, Inell Claypool. Please take a moment to see this glorious addition! May God continue to bless our community! Sincerely, Eva M. Carrizales Residential Administrator

Dear Residents,

We are quickly approaching the busy Holiday Season! I, like many of you, enjoy this season for so

many reasons: the beautiful decorations that fill each room with fall colors, the smell of delicious home

-cooked family recipes, and the traditional games played by multiple generations. Holidays such as

Thanksgiving give us the opportunity to gather with loved ones and appreciate each other’s company.

We get to reminisce and share memories of the past while creating new ones. This is also a time for us

to recall and be reminded of all the love that God has blessed us with, whether it be from family,

friends, neighbors, or teammates.

During this holiday season, I ask you to please keep your neighbors in mind as we here at The

Wesleyan are not only a community, but a family! Let us come together to celebrate all of the blessings

that have been bestowed upon us. Let us look after each other, not only physically or emotionally, but

spiritually too.

I also wanted to share that I feel blessed every day to be a part of such a vibrant community. You

continue to share your talents with our entire community and to give back to our community in so

many different ways. Thank you to our woodshop men who have created a beautiful cross that has

been placed in the East Building entrance and has been blessed by our Chaplain, Inell Claypool.

Please take a moment to see this glorious addition!

May God continue to bless our community!

Sincerely,

Eva M. Carrizales

Teammate Spotlight - November 2019

Who is Adam Wilson? You know, he’s the friendly redheaded young man greeting all who frequent the

Bistro Tuesday through Saturday. Since he is much too busy making and serving his customers (us) a tasty

sandwich, salad, soup and/or desserts, this reporter finally caught him at the end of a long day at Estrella.

Adam has been the Bistro cook for about 8 months and appreciates the opportunity it has given him to learn

how to plan menus as well as prepare meals.

The recent loss of his much-admired dad, who helped Adam become who

he is, has been difficult for both him and his mother. Adam learned much

from his father’s business, Wilson Family Services, especially the

importance of earning the trust of your customers through honesty.

Adam feels that here at Estrella he has the opportunity to expand his man-

agement skills and win the confidence of a lunch crowd. What a perfect

team – an ambitious young entrepreneur “wanna be” and a building filled

with hungry, well-seasoned senior-citizens! Thank you, Adam.

Speaker– Bob Stogdill- “Confederate

Revolvers”

Attention History Nuts and Gun Buffs

If one is interested in U.S. or Texas history, the

Civil War looms very large. The Confederacy

was lacking in manufacturing capacity so

military hardware was in short supply,

especially revolvers. After 150 years, surviving

examples are particularly scarce. Bob Stogdill

was recently allowed access to a remarkable

private collection of 4 rare Confederate Civil War

revolvers and was allowed to photograph them.

The back stories on these and the other 10

models of revolvers issued by the confederacy

are most interesting.

Psalm 100:4,5 (KJV) 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,

and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless

his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and

his truth endureth to all generations.

Growing up, it seemed like we recited these words

responsively every first Sunday. While I knew the words by

heart, I didn’t have them in my heart. Many years would pass

before I began to understand the power of thanksgiving.

One poignant moment during a private time of praise and

worship, I felt in my spirit the phrase, “access granted.” The

phrase came over me, and I understood. Thanksgiving is like a

password that gives us access to God’s presence. Praise gives

us passage to His promises.

Only until we are filled with thanksgiving can we experience

God’s goodness fully here on earth. We cling to the promise

that we can do all things through Him, and rely on His

perspective instead of ours. There is help, hope and healing in

His presence. We have access to joy. The password is simple,

but not always easy to remember.

This month of November, I invite you to add the spiritual

formation practice of thanksgiving into your daily walk. You

might be surprised by what opens up to you.
