Thankfulness: Day 5
I’m thankful for my son-in-law. He loves and cares for my daughter and grandchildren. He provides for their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. He also realizes life is so much more than making and living a buying “things”. We have been so blessed to have him in our family.
“Blessed be the Lord,
because He has heard the voice of my supplications.”

Thankfulness: Day 4
Today, I’m thankful for my quiet, loving, shy, smart, helpful, tiny young son. Most of those characteristics changed at some point, but I’m not sure when. He now has a personality more like his daddy’s than mine, is taller than his parents and grandparents (but must have gotten that from a great uncle), is still smart, and can be very helpful. He works with computers and computer systems in ways I do not even want to think about. He loves his family and provides well for their needs and wants in another state. This is my child who always catches me off-guard and loves it. Oh, I must mention his birthday if the Fourth of July. Yes, “my firecracker” leads an exciting life that makes my head spin! I love him very much!
Have a great Lord’s Day!

Baptist Press – Good stories, as usual
Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell’s memorial service will be at 11:00 today at FBC, Kentwood. Continue to pray for the family.
Thankfulness: Day 3
Today, I’m thankful for my daughter. She certainly changed my life in many ways, but all good. I’m glad I have a God-serving, smart, independent, sweet, caring, competent, and unpredictable daughter. She has been much more than I ever dreamed of! She has taught me to “hang on for the long, ride” through many journeys. She’s also a caring wife and mother to four of my grandchildren. I was certainly blessed when she was born!
Don’t forget to set your clocks back at 2 A.M. in the morning (or when you go to bed tonight). If you don’t, you’ll go to church an hour too early in the morning.

Nikki Newell, a teenager, has had another seizure and is on the way to Children’s Hospital in an ambulance. Her parents request your prayers for Nikki.
Larry Watts and Patsy D. Beddingfield are both hospitalized again at North Oaks. Please be in prayer for both of them and for their families.
Mrs. Doughty (sorry, I don’t know her first name) of Greensburg is still hospitalized and not having the best day. I taught several of her children, Tara being one of them.
It’s time for an update on the Jones family. You can read back for the last three weeks since I posted their link. As you can see, they certainly need our continued prayers.
