always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,
for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.”

Jadon’s Story: Surgery is tomorrow (Posted last night)
We made it to Detroit. We have to be at the hospital for 7 which is 6 at home. Not sure what time they will get started. I’ll update sometime after surgery. Please send lots of prayers our way. This first surgery is going to give us lots of information and lots of decisions to make. We know that God will continue to help us make decisions. Love ya, Jadon

Thought for the Day: Don’t show up empty-handed
Joe and Mike had not seen each other in many years. After meeting, they had a long
talk trying to fill in the gap of those years by telling about their lives. Finally,
Joe invited Mike to visit him in his new apartment. "I've got a wife and three kids and I'd love to have you visit us." "Great. Where do you live?" "Here's the address. And there's plenty of parking behind the apartment. Park and
come around to the front door, kick it open with your foot, go to the elevator and
press the button with your left elbow, then enter! When you reach the sixth floor,
go down the hall until you see my name on the door. Then press the doorbell with your
right elbow and I'll let you in." "Good. But tell me... what is all this business of kicking the front door open, then
pressing buttons with my right, then my left elbow?" "Surely, you're not coming empty-handed!" As we approach God, surely we do not attempt to come to Him empty-handed. Listen to
these instructions given to the Jews in the Law of Moses: "Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God
in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the
Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear
before the LORD empty-handed. Every man shall give as he is able, according
to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you." (Deut. 16:16-17) God has blessed us richly in so many ways. He wants us -- no, He expects us -- to bring a gift when we come to Him. We should not appear before the Lord empty-handed. Are your hands full? Have a great day! Alan Smith
Enjoy this great day the Lord has planned for you!
