“Let the peoples praise you, God;

let all the peoples praise you.”

~Psalm 67:5, NKJV~

Please continue to pray for Sylvester Humphry.  He is in St. Tammany and very sick.  I know your prayers will be greatly appreciated.  As you are praying for him, thank God for his vision and dedication to the Hope Center.  Without him, Hope Center would not exist.  Pray for those who are “stepping up” to try to fill the shoes of Sylvester and Shirley while they are not able to be there.

I was blessed to see Mr. James W. Frazier and Miss Shira Easley yesterday.  They have come a long way since their surgeries.  Even though they have not been released by their doctors yet, they both are in God’s house and very thankful to be there.

Someone special to pray for today – Mrs. Hazel Smith

She tends to be rather quiet, but if you spend some time with her, you’ll soon see how important God has been and continues to be in her life.  Her faith is strong!  She is such a blessing to know.

Read the Bible in 2015 – Psalm 57-59

               I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.                                               So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything,                                               but only God, who makes things grow.                                                                                                                                                The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose,                                                       and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.                                                                                For we are co-workers in God’s service;                                                                                                           you are God’s field, God’s building.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    ~1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (NIV)~
