Tuesday

“The righteous cry out,

and the Lord hears,

and delivers them out of all their troubles.”

~Psalm 34:17~

Pray for John and Kirstie Lee Antoon as their baby girl Adasyn is born today.

Greg Tanner is doing well.  He is out of the wheelchair already.  Thank God for Greg’s recovery so far.

I was surprised to see Averi Strickland yesterday.  He is progressing very well following his stroke and is walking and talking.  He will begin physical therapy in Hammond Wednesday and will do school as a homebound student for a while.  Pray for a return to his pre-stroke condition.  I told him many people were praying for him.  He was surprised, but glad.

Appointment

ON PRESIDENT GARFIELD’S first Saturday in Washington as President, a member of the Cabinet insisted that a Cabinet meeting must be called…

Garfield refused on the grounds of another engagement. The Cabinet member insisted. Garfield still refused on the grounds that the other was a prior engagement. The Cabinet member then insisted that the national matter was of such grave importance that the President should break the engagement. Garfield refused. Then the Cabinet member remarked, “I should be interested to know with whom you could have an engagement so important that it could not be broken.” Garfield replied, “I will be a frank as you are. My engagement is with my Lord to meet Him at His house and at His table at 10:30 tomorrow, and I shall be there.” The crisis passed. The nation survived. President Garfield had been faithful to his obligation.

He understood the seriousness and his obligation to partake of the Lord’s Supper on the first day of each week. (Kyle Cantrell)

“Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread…” Acts 20:7a; cf. 1 Corinthians 11:26
