The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
Isaiah 61:1

Sara Ann Tryniecki LaBarbera, age 81, born May 9, 1942, peacefully left this earth and entered her eternal home on Jun 29, 2023. Ann was a life-time resident of Amite, Louisiana, a 1960 graduate of Amite High, and a faithful member of Saint Helena Catholic Church.

Simply known as “Miss Ann”, alongside her husband, she helped create and manage many successful businesses, the most notable being Master Chef. She had a love for music and her singing voice was like no other. She knew the words to every song known to man or was more than happy to create her own if necessary. She had a joyous, beautiful spirit and showed love and compassion to everyone she met. Along with her fun loving, positive attitude, she had a special way of uplifting everyone around her. She was a loving wife, Mama, and Gran, and a strong woman of unshakable faith who will be greatly missed by everyone that was blessed to know and love her.

She was a God and family lady with a very bubbly and loving personality. I met her through teaching her four children. Please pray for her family.

PRAYER FOCUS
Yesterday afternoon as I sat in the house, I noticed a tractor and trailer slowly passing the house. This is not unusual. Then, it slowed down and pulled over on the shoulder. As I watched it began cutting the weeds in front of our neighbor’s property. (David cuts “our ditch”.) I thought about the danger of such a job. The highway department driver was doing his job!
Today, let’s pray for all the highway workers and others who work in “less than ideal situations” to help make our environment safer and/or more attractive. When you see one of their vehicles on/along the road, take time to pray for all those who work in “less than ideal” circumstances, but for our benefit.
Please take a few minutes today to allow God to guide your time/activities. (Reread today’s Scripture.)
