“My heart’s desire and prayer to God

concerning them is for their salvation!”

~Romans 10:1, HCSB~

This is the greatest decision any person could ever make!

I’m so thankful to be able to report that Joe Easley was at Sunday School and church (NZBC) yesterday.   He even was able to be in the choir.  I know there were many people thanking God as for the progress Joe has made.  Joe and his family were surely saying “Thank-you” the loudest!

Mallory is back in the burn unit in Richmond.  We are so thankful the family is right where God placed them this year.  What a blessing it is for her to receive such specialized treatment.  She continues to take everything in stride.  She’s a real inspiration!

This is the week for Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collections to be turned in.  All those boxes will be on the way for little children soon.  I thank God for knowing each box is an opportunity to introduce a child to Jesus.  Pray with me that many of the children will be saved because of the boxes packed in many churches, schools, etc.

I have two announcements to share.

  1. Young at Heart will be at 10:30 Tuesday at New Zion Baptist Church.  Mrs. Yvonne Curtis will be the guest musician.  Young at Heart is for the senior adults in this area. You will be welcomed and blessed by being there.
  2. David and I invite you to our cabin for the Third Thursday gathering this week at 6:30. Young and old are invited to join us.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

(This great hymn was written over a hundred years ago.  It is still so meaningful to us because God doesn’t change.  He is just as faithful to us today as he was to those who lived when the hymn was first written, played, and sung.  We are all so much better because of God’s faithfulness to us!)

May you be a witness of God’s faithfulness this week.  May you see Him all around you.
