“Let your light shine before men
in such a way that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
~Matthew 5:16, NASB~
Thankfulness – Day 3: I‘m thankful for Operation Christmas Child because it is a way to send shoeboxes of gifts and JESUS to needy children all around the world. Being able to share the material goods is a real blessing, but sending Christian literature in the appropriate language and at the appropriate age level is such a ministry. Thank-you, Rev. Franklin Graham for giving us this opportunity for the past 20 years.
Today is the World Day of Prayer for Christian Women. Kedron Baptist Church will host us at 10:00 this morning. After the meeting, we will have lunch together so we can visit. Pray for Christians around the world as they share Jesus.
Glenda McKean is home recovering from rotator cup surgery. Pray for her during the six weeks she will be unable to use her right arm. Thank-God for a God who has provided a way to have our bodies healed from some of the things that slow us down and make us miserable. As you use your favored arm, please remember her as she tries to do everything with her left arm and hand.
Pray for our friend and neighbor, Sherry Day, as she gets the results of last Wednesday’s biopsy. She and her family would appreciate your prayers today.
I know of numerous people undergoing medical tests/procedures this week. Mrs. Ashley Statham, Mrs. Theople Hurst and Mrs. Donna Fay Miller are among that number. Please pray for them.
Kathy Wales asks us to pray for Chris as he has “a spinal decompression and fusion on Tues afternoon around 3:30 at the BR General on Bluebonnet”. Pray his recovery time is not difficult and goes by quickly. Pray for Chris as he tries not to do some of the things he is accustomed to doing now.
There was a fire in the Chesbrough area that destroyed the home a family was renting. Yesterday, I needed to know a little more before sharing the information. Last night, God sent the family to The Lord’s Church where I had the opportunity to speak with them. It was C.J. Williams, Cory Didon’s younger brother. The family, with six children, is staying with C.J’s mother east of Tangipahoa. Pray for them today as they look for a place to live and make many important decisions. Thank God for those who have been willing to help and have already done so.
Gold City and Andy Taylor were both very good last night. I haven’t “tapped out” so much music in a long time. What a blessing The Lord’s Church provided to our area last night. It was good to see so many Christian friends of various faiths in one building.
