in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.”

Jadon’s Story
Fasting and Praying
I’m feeling a little better finally. Mommy had to take me back to the pediatrician Thursday because I wasn’t getting any better. They put me on antibiotic because I have bronchitis. I just can’t get a break right now. My brother is sick too. He has an ear infection and a sinus infection. He is feeling better today too. We are 2 days away from starting the ketogenic diet. I will be admitted to New Orleans Children’s Hospital Monday and will have to stay until Thursday. I have to fast for 18 hours. This should be no problem for me. I’ve gone longer than that when I have been put to sleep for testing. We would like for anyone who wants to fast with me to do so. We will use this as a time of fasting and praying for healing. The fast and praying will start at 6:00 pm Sunday night and will continue until 12:00 p.m. Monday. If you really thing about it, its not that bad. During this time, I will be aloud to drink water with sugar free crystal light in it. We are also asking everyone to wear their Jadon’s journey shirt or purple Monday to support me. I left a picture of my mommies work people showing their support for me. Thank you all for supporting me and taking care of my mommy. She couldn’t do it without you. Please continue to pray that God will continue to heal me. I really have come a long way. Also pray for my family. We are anxious about starting a new diet. We know it will be hard, but as I’ve said before nothing can be harder than having seizures everyday. We love all of you and we will keep you posted while we are in the hospital.
Macy Gueldner
I wanted to let everyone know that Macy is doing really well. We are enjoying her sweet personality…… she’s all smiles and loves to cuddle.
Macy had a short bout with Roseola last weekend, but she’s better now. Even with a rash and fever, she stayed in good spirits.
Cate and Macy had a great time trick-or-treating last weekend. Cate was a monkey and Macy was a banana. They both looked so cute!
We’re counting down the days to our Disney trip…….. just 2 weeks away. I absolutely cannot wait to see Cate’s reactions to all of the wonders of Disney World.
I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We’ve been Blessed with two beautiful and loving daughters, Macy’s surgery is behind us, and we’re surrounded by wonderful family and friends who’ve helped and prayed for us through our trying times.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

“At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow…”
Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
THERE IS A beautiful legend about a king who decided to set
aside a special day to honor his greatest subject...
When the big day arrived, there was a large gathering in the palace courtyard.
Four finalists were brought forward, and from these four, the king would
select the winner.
The first person presented was a wealthy philanthropist. The king was told
that this man was highly deserving of the honor because of his humanitarian
efforts. He had given much of his wealth to the poor.
The second person was a celebrated physician. The king was told that this doctor was highly deserving of the honor because he had rendered faithful and dedicated service to the sick for many years.
The third person was a distinguished judge. The king was told that the judge was worthy because he was noted for his wisdom, his fairness, and his brilliant decisions.
The fourth person presented was an elderly woman. Everyone was quite surprised to see her there, because her manner was quite humble, as was her dress. She hardly looked the part of someone who would be honored as the greatest subject in the kingdom. What chance could she possibly have, when compared to the other three, who had accomplished so much? Even so, there was something about her the look of love in her face, the understanding in her eyes, her quiet confidence.
The king was intrigued, to say the least, and somewhat puzzled by her presence. He asked who she was. The answer came: “You see the philanthropist, the doctor, and the judge? Well, she was their teacher!”
It was James who wrote, “Brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers.” (James 3:1, GOD’S WORD). He points out that teachers will be judged more severely. He could just as easily have said that teachers have a greater responsibility, a greater challenge, a greater opportunity to affect the lives of people in a negative way. It is impossible to teach without using words, and with greater use of words comes a greater danger that the words will do harm.
But thanks be to God that there are those who face that challenge and assume that responsibility and make a diligent effort to use their words as an opportunity to affect the lives of people in a positive way. Those of you who are teachers — who can begin to measure the tremendous effect that you are having in the lives of the children (and adults) in your classrooms? You may not see the results of your efforts for years. In fact, you may never get to see the results. But you do make a difference.
Those of you who are schoolteachers are teaching not only the basics of education, but you are teaching values and character. Those of you who are Bible class teachers are filling the minds and hearts of our children with stories of faith that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Those of you who are preachers are strengthening the family of God and bringing salvation to the lost.
So, my hat is off to all of you who are teachers because you make a difference! Alan Smith
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.
If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach.”
~Romans 12:6-7~
Have a great Lord’s Day!
