“I have made you a light for the Gentiles

to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”

~Acts 13:34b, HCSB~

 

Thankfulness, Day 4:  Today, I want to add friends.  There are many of you.  Some are my age, some older, and some younger.  You live in Kentwood,  Roseland,  Amite,  Fluker, Osyka, Greensburg, and many other places.  We are connected through my school days, my school teaching days, churches, mutual friends, and other ways.  I just know you are there for me with a smile, a hug, a kind word, or a bit of encouragement.  Thank-you, God, for blessing me with so many friends!

Sherry Day shared her big news – NO CANCER!  She received the call yesterday afternoon.  Her family, friends, and many who don’t even know her have prayed.  Thank-you to each one for the prayers.  Thank-you, God, that you still have things for Sherry to do here on earth.

Another neighbor, Chris Wales, will be having surgery this afternoon.   It will be a “spinal decompression and fusion at 3:30 at the BRGenBluebonnet”.   Please pray for Chris and the family.

Continue to pray for Mr. Bobby Lawson who is in the V.A. Hospital in Jackson.

Johnnie “Lil-Man” Santangello will be having a MRI in Arizona this afternoon.  Pray that it shows improvement in treatment of his brain tumor.

Today at 11:00 at The Cafe, we will celebrate the birthday of some special “young” ladies from church.  How special this day is each month.

I’m happy to say that FBC, K has surpassed their goal for the Georgia Barnett Offering for State Missions.  Our goal was $8,000, but we have $9,236.30.  Giving directly to the mission offerings means that 100% goes to missions.  You can still give even though we have achieved our goal.  In fact, you can give to any of our mission offerings any time of the year. Thank-you for realizing the importance of missions!

It was great to be a part of the Baptist Women’s Day of Prayer yesterday.  Cora Morris at Hillsdale does a good job of involving ladies from a number of churches.  The fact that women all around the world were praying for the same thing on the same day was so inspiring.

Hope Center is continuing to do well.  There are 212 people signed up for the food bank and numerous regular customers at the store.  Needs are being met.  If you have any appliances, furniture, or household items, we can find them a new home.  Thanks to all who have volunteered to serve on a regular basis or to come when called.  You make the scheduling process so much easier.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

  • “Perception or Reality” – http://odb.org/?tz=-06
  • Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?                                                                                                                     ~Mark 4:38~
  • “Does Jesus Care?” – http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/o/doesjeca.htm
    • Are these words true?  YES!
    • I hope this song comes to you on a day when you need them.

Show know you care too!
