If you do what is right,

will you not be accepted?

But if you do not do what is right,

sin is crouching at your door;

it desires to have you,

but you must rule over it.”

Genesis 4:7

 Isn’t that strange that I immediately found  verse appropriate for a nightmare that got me us at 3:30?  I don’t like nightmares!
Harrell Sharkey is in room 621 at Ochsner, New Orleans.  Keep praying.  He has a lot of PT to do to get him stronger.
Mr. Burnell Simpson has been home since Sunday afternoon.  Pray he can continue to get this diet correct for the fluid balance in his body.
Both Linda and Jimmy Williams are improving.  Don’t you know they will be happy when they are together and both home again?
Pray for the teachers and students as schools begin.  May they make good adjustments to the new year and all plan to work hard to do their very best.

Last night, the Children in Action put their lessons into action and actually helped prepare pencils, glue sticks, and soap for packing into our “shoeboxes”.  I’m happy to report that the children’s mission classes collected $36.00 the first month.  A parent and child will take that money and purchase highlighters to add to our items for Operation Christmas Child.  I’m also thankful for the Back-to-School prices on school supplies as well as some ladies who know how to get the most from each dollar they spend.  God is blessing our efforts!  Children somewhere will be blessed when they open our boxes in the coming months!

I’m looking forward to seeing God working through his people today.  How about you?
