New Year, Old Memories
Update on the Tune Family. 06-10-2011
God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords || Charles Swindoll
It’s been a long time since we have written anything on our website. It has been a long hard year much pain, but yet many blessings. We are sorry for not being faithful to post we will do much better this year.
This guitar that you see in this picture last year with the broken strings came more to pass than we ever expected for the Tune Family. But now as Nathan wins this contest there again it involves a guitar, but they are new strings, new songs and new beginnings.
The Tune family has had many broken chords this past year. We desire the prayers of Gods people for healing as we continue on this highway to Heaven. Many blessings from Highways and Byways Ministries.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. – James 4:14 (KJV)
As we start this new year, I can’t help but reflect on years gone by….
In 2000, we lost one who was so special, my father-in-law (Frank Tune). He was like a dad to me.
Then, in 2001, we spent the first 16 days of January in the hospital, sitting by Mom’s bedside. When we lost my Mom (Winnie Baker Neff), such a strong presence – the spark that lit up our world – had gone out.
One year later, my mother-in-law, Alma Tune, was gone – more heartbreak.
Uncles, cousins, and dear friends… It continued.
Then, in 2009, a precious nephew left us entirely too soon: Joe Don Baker, a strong, handsome young man.
Before we caught our breath, tragedy struck again. My bubbly, smiling-faced niece, Christi Wilder VanVickle, was yanked from our hearts.
I woke up in the night. My thoughts went to them – and my mom. I wonder how we go on playing life’s song, when the strings to all of our hearts are broken? With broken strings, we seem so out of tune, but with us all going on together we – as family and friends – can still make a beautiful melody. It just seems we changed keys, or maybe we changed songs.
As life goes forward – and it must – we will continue to:
sing (and play) on…

Sixty Bags of Love
In the previous article, we mentioned our Valentine’s Day idea for a nursing home in our area — it led to 60 bags of love…
What’s in a Valentine?
It’s things money can’t buy such as a hug or smile that touch hearts beyond measure, or just time spent with someone who doesn’t have anyone that make the most valuable, memorable gift. Time and caring doesn’t take a lot of money….
Spreading the Love
To show our love and appreciation, Highways and Byways Ministries recently put together — and personally delivered — 60 custom Valentine’s Day gift bags. These bags were filled with various old-fashioned candies, chosen to spark warm memories in the residents. They also contained needed items, such as socks to keep their feet warm, and a handwritten Valentine card to make them feel special and show they are loved and thought about.
One of the employees pushing the cart filled with Valentine goodies into the nursing home.
Valentine’s Day bags nestled in boxes, sitting on a cart, waiting for the residents’ party.
A close-up of the gift bags and socks snuggled in a decorated Valentine’s box.
It’s the Thought that Counts
It didn’t take a ton of money to purchase the items necessary for assembling these Valentine bags. And, it didn’t take that much time to toss the stuff in the bags, or to stop by the nursing home and carry them in. The weathered faces that greeted us when we walked in have worked in the fields, raised children with morals, been wonderful grandparents, friends, neighbors, and citizens. Some fought for our country; others taught our children. They deserve respect, and to be remembered.
Our Valentine Gift
The smiles and excitement on the residents’ faces was worth it all. There is no monetary amount or materialistic item that could replace what we felt in our hearts and souls as we watched the gratitude glowing from the faces of those who sacrificed their life and time for others, who now spend their days longing for visits from someone they love, or anyone — even someone they don’t know, just to sit with them for a spell and keep them company on those long, lonely days.
Keep your money and spend yourself. — Sister Deborah J. Tune
Welcome to Highways and Byways Ministries Website
Hello!
I’m Sister Debbie and this is the website for Highways and Byways Ministries--my family’s ministry. This website is a work-in-progress and we’ll continue to add features, articles, updates, and even songs and videos.
In the meantime, I’d like to welcome you and thank you for visiting. As this site grows and we are able to share more information with you, you’ll learn about all the many great things Jesus Christ has done in our lives. He has performed miracle after miracle and continues to bless each and every day.
I look forward to sharing with you testimonies, scriptures, recent ministry news and events, and so much more.
One of our favorite things to do is to reach out to those who are homebound, in nursing homes, hospitals, etc. We’re excited to let you know we have something special planned for Valentine’s Day for the residents of a nursing home in our area. I’ll be posting about it soon in an upcoming article, so stay tuned.
