Illnesses and Surgeries

There are a number of people who are having or have recently had surgery. I think there are more surgeries now than in previous years. I suppose there are more optional surgeries in that number.

Hopefully, the cold and flue season is being left behind for most people, but some people still manage to have these problems all year long. Pray for healthy days for everyone.

Additional Scripture Reading

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20 NIV

(New International Version)

This thought was shared by Jesus to his apostles. It was fitting for them and is still fitting for us today!

If you have not previously memorized this Scripture, today is a good day to begin that process. I memorized it as written in the King James Version of the Bible which is most familiar to many people. You may want to do the same.
