Current Issue - Tipton Children`s Home
Tipton Children’s Home is a non-profit organization. We rely on your many gifts of money, groceries, clothing and even handmade quilts. I realize that most of the people receiving the Messenger know what we are and what we do. Our concerns are usually centered around the material donations and the effect they will have on our day to day lives. But as the new year begins, I believe it is most important to seek another type of donation. That donation is PRAYER! I believe that all of our needs, desires and wants will be taken care of if each of you will set aside time every day to pray for us. Pray for the children. Pray that they may come to know Christ and the Cross. Pray for their healing from emotional and physical scars. Pray for our house parents. Pray that they may have patience and strength to deal with all the challenges that confront them. Pray for the administration, that they may lead in a Godly way which will continue to make Tipton Children’s Home a place which will make a positive change in the lives of our children. I Thessalonians 5:16 says “pray without ceasing”. As we diligently do this, I truly believe that all of our needs will be met, both spiritually and financially. As always, never hesitate to call or come visit us. Tipton Children’s Home would like to say thank you to all our friends and family who shared your love with us over the holidays. The children had a great Christmas with all the presents they received. In addition, they had the opportunity to meet new friends and reconnect with the old friends they have made in the past years. What a wonderful example of Christian love for our children. It is our goal that someday our children will be in the position of giving back to others just as so many of you have done. We wish you all a blessed year in 2016! Page 1 - Volume 2016 - No. 1 Tipton Children’s Home has benefited from the generosity of so many friends and families over the holidays. We returned to find our homes cold and dark like so many of you. The town of Tipton was without electricity for 3 days and others in the area were without electricity for a week or more. We have had happy times and some trying times. The children were kept safe and warm with the use of generators and mounds of quilts. It was a true adventure for children and houseparents. I want to express thankfulness to all of you for your generosity in bringing food, gifts and cards for the children. In addition, many of you sent monetary gifts. Your generosity is overwhelming. I would also like to express our gratitude to the lineman who helped restore the electricity and many others who called to check on our needs or brought supplies. We continue to thank God for the blessings we have received and the guidance and safety he provides as we do His will. I pray we will never lose sight of the love and care God provides for us when we trust Him and put our faith in Him. A few years ago, there was a story in the National Geographic magazine reminding us of God’s greatness and the plans he has had for his creatures since the beginning. A forest fire overtook Yellowstone National Park and after the fire the forest rangers walked up the mountain to assess the damage. One ranger found a bird petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. The ranger was saddened that the bird had perished and was astonished that he did not fly away as the fire came closer. He took a stick and knocked the dead bird’s ashes over. Immediately, three tiny chicks scurried from under their mother’s wings. The mother, keenly aware of the impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and gathered them under her wings, knowing that the smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety all by herself, but she did not want her babies to perish. When the blaze arrived and the heat rose, the mother remained steadfast protecting her babies. Because she had been willing to give herself for her babies; the babies continued to live. “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” Psalm 91:4 As God’s children and ministers to others, let us remember to find our comfort in his love for us. If we have but a tiny measure of faith, the size of a mustard seed, he will bring us through our trials. Thank you to all who have been providers for Tipton Children’s Home in the past. I wish you all a new year of God’s blessings and pray that we will continue to provide a refuge for children needing our help. If you know of a child that needs our help, please call the office at 580-667-5221. Welcome to Renee Boyd. Renee has accepted the position of secretary/Business Manager for Tipton Children’s Home. Renee comes to us with a real estate background and will continue to be connected with Remax Property Place in Altus on a part- time basis. She is a 1999 graduate of Tipton Schools. Her and her daughter, Chloe, live in Tipton. She will be the “voice on the phone” if you call our office. Judi French, our former secretary/ Business Manger left in November. Her and her husband, Stan, who was the farm manager at Tipton Children’s Home, have moved to Colorado to be closer to their children and they are the new owners of Road Runner roofing. We wish them well in this new endeavor. Congratulations and a job well done to these children who made straight A’s for the Fall semester 2015 at school. The children worked hard and we are very proud of them. Pictured are Erika, Nathan, Hunter, Shawn, Samantha, and Daniel. Not pictured is Dasi. Join Us on Facebook! Tipton Childrens Home Page 2 - Volume 2016 - No. 1 L. A. Todd passed away on October 16, 2015 at his home in Tipton. L. A. was an active member of the Tipton community, serving on the Tipton School Board, Humphrey’s Co-Op board, the 911 Board and had served on the FSA Board for over 20 years. He was still active on the Soil Conservation Board and the Tillman County Fair Board. He had worked and served on the Board for the Oklahoma State Spring Livestock Show for over 30 years. L. A. was a very active member of the Tipton Church of Christ where he served as an elder and was on the Tipton Children’s Home Board of Directors. L. A. was indeed a busy man, but he was never too busy or sick to attend the meetings for the Board at Tipton Children’s Home. L. A. had a deep love for the children and he was that man at church services who passed out gum and mints to the children. Phyllis always had an ample supply if L. A. ran out. L. A. would want to know when a new child came to Tipton Children’s Home. He would often call the Home to see if we had a new child and he would say, “Now, I want to meet him/her.” He was one of the first people they would meet and he would usually know someone who lived in the town from which they came. The remarkable thing about L. A. is that he never forgot a face or a conversation. He knew history. But not just history of places, he knew your history and could tell you about anyone in the community or surrounding area. He was involved in your life and genuinely cared about what was going on with you. He was an interesting man to talk with because he knew so much and he was the go to person if you had a question about Tipton. He was the man we will remember in the future because of his love for Tipton Children’s Home and his humor. But we will also remember him because he truly knew us. L. A. is survived by his lovely wife, Phyllis and his two sons, Leigh Alan of McCloud and John Robert and wife Suzanne of Spring Branch, Texas. He left four sisters, Melba Reece and husband Max, Linda Armstrong and husband Lewis, Catherine Grampp and husband Larry and Paula Hughes. He had 6 grandchildren and 5 greatgranchildren. He was preceeded in death by his parents and one daughter, Sue Ann Todd. Page 3 - Volume 2016 - No. 1 I know you won’t be expecting your Tipton Children’s Home Messenger this early, but I have always felt change is good. It is different for me to get my mind set for it also. It is winter here in Tipton, Oklahoma and we have just been through several days of no power due to high winds and ice storms. Everyone made it okay, and all of our children are back in school busy as usual. I am sure many of you have experienced the same bad weather also. Hope everyone is doing ok. At this time I am going to put a reminder of Homecoming at Tipton Children’s Home in this news report. Homecoming comes a little early this year. It will be on Saturday March 26, 2016 in the Tipton Home cafeteria. There will be a reception at the Tipton church of Christ Fellowship building on Friday evening, March 25. I will follow-up with a letter to you in a few weeks with the time schedule of everything. We are starting our plans and preparation for another great and fun Homecoming. You don’t want to miss it. We will be looking for all that can come this year. Deceased: We have lost some of our special people that I need to report on. Carroll Gregory passed away September 3, 2015. Carroll had been sick for a while. He and his lovely wife, Wanda, came to work several years ago as houseparents in the Davis Cottage. They are loved by many sweet girls they have raised. Our sympathy and prayers go out to Wanda and her family. Just as we were in the middle of the bad ice storm we got word of one of the girls we had in our cottage, Angela Lee (Jones) Smith, who unexpectedly passed away on December 26th, 2016. Angie came to Tipton Children’s Home on May 28, 1971 along with her younger sisters, Donna and Jennifer and her brother Timmy. She graduated from Tipton High School on May 21, 1981. She leaves her sweet daughter Cassandra (Cassie) who will need lots of love and encouragement. Our hearts were very saddened to get this news. Former employee, Elton VanScoder’s wife passed away on December 6, 2015. We extend our love and sympathy to all the families of their loved ones. Wishing everyone a very happy and good year in what is now 2016. Remember our children in your prayers. We appreciate all of you. The children who have animals have been working for several months to prepare their animals for the local and county stock show which will be coming up in February and March. Erika is holding one of the pigs as a baby. It is fascinating to watch the pigs grow so fast. The children go daily to check and feed the animals. We wish them good luck in their efforts at the stock shows. Justin is a sophomore at Tipton Public Schools. He is 16 years old and came to us last summer. Justin is creative. He enjoys the arts and loves playing the piano. He lives in the Hamm House with 5 other boys and his houseparents, Tony and Gabbi Chitwood. By Justin Barton Because of your help, Tipton Children’s Home has reached another milestone … over 4000 children have been helped since 1924. We pray that we helped them in a way that they were able to leave here and lead other souls to Christ. Your help is our biggest asset. Please continue to remember us in your prayers that the work here will continue and many other children will be helped. “Let the children come to me , and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 On this day we cluster to support, To remember, to mourn those lost at the Fort. For right here, right now, we’ve lost some, But remember they wanted what we now have, What we’ve become. For the gifts of life, liberty and freedom, Once denied now caused a nation to grow in stride. So fear not; ‘twas not in vain, The sacrifices they gave for us to gain. Remember the Love they had for their country Rmember their sacrifices, Let freedom ring! Tipton Children’s Home has change cans available for you to fill and return to us. The change cans are good for donors of all ages to participate in helping Tipton Home. The money is used to help the children in the activities they are involved in or for special trips the children take. If you, your Sunday school class or a friend or relative of yours would like to participate, please call the office and we will send you a change can to get you started. Their war twice fought was therefore not simple, Not vain, not pure emotion, not without thought. Our proof through the night, still there Tattered and torn, rugged and worn, But Still waving in the air. Reminder: Tipton Children’s Home Homecoming will be held on Saturday, March 26 in the Tipton Children’s Home cafeteria. Mark your calendar and be here for the celebration . You and your family are welcome!

U.S. Postage Paid Permit #1541 Oklahoma City, OK 731 RUSSIAN APRICOT CHICKEN DINNER 12 chicken breasts (boneless), cut into 1-2” pieces Garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste 1 bottle Russian Dressing (8 oz.) 1 (9 oz.) jar apricot jam or preserves 1 pkg. broccoli heads/pieces, heated in the microwave 2 cups rice 5 cups chicken broth 2 Tbsp. cornstarch Tony and Gabbi Chitwood Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 X 13 baking dish. Poke chicken with knife or fork to help soak up juices and place chicken in dish. Sprinkle with garlic and salt. Mix dressing and jam together in a separate bowl and pour over chicken. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer. Place rice and chicken broth in a rice cooker (or cook on the stove and cook how you would normally cook rice). When chicken gets done, place about a cup and a half to two cups of the juices into a small saucepan and add 1 Tbsp of cornstarch per one cup of juices. Place some rice in a bowl or a plate, add chicken and cooked broccoli, and then pour sauce over it all. Yummy! Serves 6-8. Tony and Gabbi Chitwood are relief houseparents at Tipton Children’s Home. Tony also supervises the show animal program. Gabbi helps in the clothing room and is involved in special projects on campus. One of the special projects she is working on is a cookbook for Tipton Children’s Home. She is collecting recipes from alumni of Tipton Children’s Home and will be compiling them in a cookbook which will be made available later this year. She is looking for those recipes that are the never fail, comfort food type. Perhaps you have a recipe you remember eating or making at Tipton Home. If so, please send a copy to [email protected] and she will add it to the cookbook. If you have a story or memory concerning the recipe include that as well. We are asking those of you who will be coming to the alumni reunion this year to bring a recipe with you. This will be a memorable book and our thanks to Gabbi for overseeing this work.
