You may have noticed I didn’t post much last week. We had 10 of the 2 kids, 2 spouses,and 8 grandkids here for a week. Life has been busy, but oh so much fun! What a blessing it was! I trust you also had happy times during the Thanksgiving holidays.
He said in a loud voice,
“Fear God and give him glory,
because the hour of his judgment has come.
Worship him who made the heavens,
the earth,
the sea
and the springs of water.”
~Revelation 14:7~
Jewel Kay Y. Cutrer and her family are in need of our prayers. Please pray for them as often as God brings them to your mind.
Chris St. Alexandre
March 16, 1971 – November 26, 2021
On November 26, 2021, Chris St. Alexandre regained his sight that he had been without for two years. In September 2019 he suffered a stroke in his right eye that took his sight and in December 2019 his left eye was affected. He had to learn how to live life with minimal sight with the help of his wife of 25 years, Angie. His daughters Camryn and Samantha were also his guiding shoulders. Before the stroke Chris was an active member in the Wilmer and Kentwood Fire Departments. He remained as active as he could with the support of his wife and kids. He loved to tinker with all kinds of things and pick and play with everyone. He was also a collector of everything. If you needed it, he was likely to have it. Upon his departure from this life, he was reunited with his parents, James and Susie St. Alexandre and mother-in-law Barbara Miller along with many other loved ones. He will not only be missed by Angie, Camryn and her boyfriend Tanner Blades, and Samantha, but many other loved ones. Mother and Father-in-law Mike and Polly Miller, brother and sister-in-laws Ralph and Lisa Breaux, Tim and Jessica Lincoln, Shane and Aimee Bridges. Nieces and nephews, Jaime and Alyssa Travis, Victoria and Breanna Breaux, Maddie, McKenzie, Molly Lincoln, and Owen and Alie Bridges. Special Aunt, Gayle Owens. He will also be miss by countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and all of his animals. This may not have been the way we thought Chris would receive his sight, but Chris was assured that he would lift his eyes in Heaven when he trusted God to save him from his sins. Chris just wanted his sight back. God tells us in Mark 50:49-52 about healing the blind man’s sight. Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. We can rest assure that this is not a good bye to Chris, this is simply see your later because we have the assurance from God that the saved will rest at his feet.

Boxes from our area are being shipped from Charlotte this year. I read yesterday about a person who packed there this year and listed these countries as the places where boxes were being shipped to that day – Togo, Cameroon, Paraguay, and Columbia, if our memories are correct. I didn’t get a count from there that day, but will be paying attention to other posts from Charlotte.
Once again, “Thank-you to all who helped in any way to do our part in Kentwood”. You helped reach so many children with the message about how Jesus can love them daily and change their lives forever!
Anna Lee
Update: I just received an update from a Charlotte packer – Togo, Burundi, and Colombia – the day she was working there.
