Thursday – Mid-day

David had two procedures at the heart hospital in Lacombe  and the doctor reported the results to me before 7:45 this morning.  The results?  There were no blood clots and the heart is now back in rhythm.  Thanks to all who have prayed for him and to the doctors and wonderful staff at Lacombe.  Now, at 11:30, I have driven us home with a stop in Amite to eat something light, gumbo from Mike’s.  We are blessed in so many ways.

I received a message that the Hatchels arrived safely to their home.  The three bags that didn’t arrive with them are scheduled to get to them in the morning.  Thank you to all of you who have prayed to them and us as the Hatchels make another transition in their life.

Virgie Morgan’s other sister also got a good report.  Surgery will not be required.

Hatchel Family

Pray for the Hatchel family as they return to Europe today and tomorrow.  The will go though four airports and have numerous pieces of luggage and a dog.

I thank God they had a special assignment in the States for the past year and the opportunities we had to visit with them.  Now, I thank God for the opportunity for them to go “home” and do the work God has for them.

Mrs. Gloria Houeye

Mrs. Virgie Morgan said that her sister’s procedure at the Heart Hospital in Lacombe went well yesterday.  One sister has done well this week.  Now, let’s pray for the other sister’s health issue.

Praise the Lord. Gloria came through with flying colors. She did well and will be home tomorrow if all goes well the rest of today and tonight. She is in Louisiana Heart Hospital in Lacombe and will stay in ICU tonight. They will get her up tomorrow and take out all the tubes and if she does ok will come home. Thanks for all your thoughts and expecially your prayers.

Monday

“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,

and His ears are open to their prayers.”

~1 Peter 3:12a, NKJV~

Two sweet ladies from Amite (Written by their sister, Virgie Vining Morgan)
Dear friends and family, I really need your prayers this week. My 2 remaining sisters will be going through some surgical procedures in the next few days. Gloria will be having her carotid arteries cleaned tomorrow. The Dr. told her this would be very serious surgery for someone her age (85). Edwina will be having heart cath and endoscope on Wed. She is 81. Both will be under anesthesia which is risky to some extent. Prayers are really appreciated at this time.

As summer comes to an end, I’m so thankful for all the Vacation Bible Schools is our area. Each one touched young lives.  It blesses my heart to learn of all the baptisms that were done in various churches as a result of all the Vacation Bible Schools this summer.  As Bro. J.P. Miles would say, VBS is our greatest ministry and outreach of the year.  I’m so thankful for all the churches and individuals who have invested extra time in our children this summer.  Your efforts have eternal results!
