“We grow up like flowers and then dry up and die.
We are like a passing shadow that does not last.”
~Job 14:2, NCV~
Susan Rimes
Susan got a good report, “Come back in six months”. Thank God she is so much better and not in the constant pain that bothered her so long.
Ferrie Gene Blackmon
“Miss” Ferrie Gene’s surgery was a success, but that doesn’t mean her first night following surgery was without pain. Pray for her to show steady improvement until she is better than she was before surgery.
Savana Allen
Savana got a good report from the doctor today. Thank God with Savana and her family.
Gretchen Simpson
Gretchen has a small fracture in her elbow and will not be able to use that arm for a couple of weeks. Join Gretchen and her family in thanking God that her break was not a major problem.
Numerous deaths, wakes, and funerals
I don’t think I have ever known of a greater number of deaths than we have had in our area in the last few weeks.

I’ve already picked out a few of these stories to read after I get this posted.
Daily Devotional – Our Daily Bread – “Heard by God”
Inspirational Stories – “That Little Girl”
http://academictips.org/blogs/that-little-girl/
I enjoyed the story and can see how it can inspire others, but I would hope the write realized she was “blessed”, no simply “lucky”.
Hymn of the Day – “Trusting Jesus”
http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/r/trusting.htm
We have had many deaths in our community and some in my family. When our days are difficult, it is wonderful to be able to trust Jesus and let Him handle everything. Enjoy the simple words and sweet melody of this song.
Reminder – The “Young” Ladies Birthday Party for January had to be postponed. We will meet at Nyla’s Tuesday at 11:00 to celebrate the January birthdays.
We have a date! Jennie and her family will “cross the pond” July 11th. It will be so good to have them stateside, even if not in our state, for a whole year. I’m marking my calendar and counting the days!
I hope you have a blessed day today and that you are a blessing to someone today.
