On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
~Matthew 2:11-12~
The big request all over the Amite area is for Koltyn Gafford, son of Brad and Kristin R. Gafford. Kristin is the daughter of Kelly Wayne and Teri Chandler Russell, also of Amite. I’m not sure who Brad’s parents are. Koltyn. who is two, had an accident in the family swimming pool yesterday. He’s in Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge. Prayers are needed and will be appreciated.
Teddi Titus’ surgery went well yesterday. She’s back at home. Thank you for your prayers yesterday and in the coming days.

Operation Christmas Child – Pray today for children around the world who are receiving “shoeboxes”. Pray that in addition to gifts, they find Jesus.
I trust you put priority on others, family and non-family members, this Christmas season. That works well all year long.
