Tuesday Evening

Macy Gueldner (Written by her mother)

Macy needs a few extra prayers. She started with a small fever at school that rose to 102.4 by the time she got home. An ER trip to Baton Rouge was a definite. While getting her packed up to go, I noticed that her eyes were crossed and fixed in that position. It scared the heck out of me. She couldn’t focus on me, so I literally threw her into the car and raced to our local ER. I spoke with her doctor on the way, and he assured me that the fever was the culprit, and that she should be safe to travel to BR. So I sped right back home, where Jeremy took over. He’s on his way with her to OLOL ER. They let me give her Tylenol for the ride, and he said that she already looks a little better. Please pray for Jeremy, that he has a decent night, and pray that Macy gets over this quickly. She was really miserable.
Thank you Jessamy Core Long for giving me the heads up and always taking great care of Macy.

Harold Stokes

Harold had his aorta replaced today.  He is doing well.  The family has already had an opportunity to see him.  Please continue to pray for him.

Tuesday

 Blessed is the man

who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked

or stand in the way of sinners

or sit in the seat of mockers.

~Psalm 1:1~

 

Pray for our neighbor, Sherry Day, as she sees a doctor Thursday to make plans for future treatment/surgery.  Pray for Sherry and her family as they face what God has ahead for them with faith and courage.

Pray for the Harold Stokes family of Amite as Harold has open heart surgery today.  Pray for comfort and patience during the surgery/recovery time.

I’ve loved this hymn and related to its message for years, but never known of its origin.  This explains the words I have loved and needed so much at times.

Sunday (posted early)

 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,

but with humility of mind

let each of you regard one another

as more important than himself,

do not merely look out for your own personal interest ,

but also for the interests of others.”
