Wednesday

“What does the Lord your God require of you,

but to fear the Lord your God,

to walk in all His ways and to love Him,

to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,”

~Deuteronomy 10:12, NKJV~

Another update on Jadon, another good report, plus something to work on

http://jadonsisstory.blogspot.com/

Mrs. Avis Sullivan is in Hood’s again for a few days.  Pray for her to be able to go home in a few days, as she usually does.

Please pray for the Bennett/Bethel family of Roseland as they have a memorial service for “Miss” Elizabeth this afternoon.  I have many memories, but two that stand out are how hard she worked at raising her five children seven and under after her husband’s death and how faithfully she had them all in church.

Fifteen Things God Won’t Ask

13. God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbors.

14  God won’t ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character.

15. God won’t ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t.

Remember Jadon today as he has a MRI in Detroit.

http://jadonsisstory.blogspot.com/

Thank God for all the progress Jadon has made.  Thank God for parents who have been so good working with him.  Thank God for all those wearing purple today as a reminder to pray for Jadon.  God has pulled this family though some difficult times.  They are so thankful.  Keep praying.

Monday

“I have compassion on the crowd,

because they’ve already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

I don’t want to send them away hungry;

otherwise they might collapse on the way.”

~Matthew 15:32b, HCSB~

Mrs. Mary Alice Blackwell is still in Ponchatoula.  It is too wet in Moss Point to move in their new mobile home.  Continue to remember her and Mr. John Alan in your prayers.

Mrs. Judy Liberto was in Sunday School yesterday – neck brace and all.  It was so good to see her back in her class.  Please continue to pray for her.

Keith Womack is also wearing a neck brace following surgery.  Pray for him to heal nicely so he can continue his active live.

Mrs. Evelyn Bridges is continuing to have health issues.  An injection in her back recently gave her trouble.  Pray for the sweet lady as she deals with health issues.

Mrs. Pauline Strickland is doing better than she has in months.  Thank God for her progress.  Thank God for her family that has cared for her during this time.

Pray for Mrs. Mary Womack as she goes to New Orleans Tuesday for additional tests.  She will be very appreciative of your prayers.

Pray for the Houeye family (Charles, Bea., and Jennifer) as health issues abound.  Pray for those who go into their home to help care for them.

VBS begins tonight at the Tangipahoa Baptist Church and at FBC, Greensburg.  VBS will be a great way to end the summer before school begins again.

Pray for the school system employees as they go back to work this week.  It’s hard to believe their summer is over and another year is beginning.  Pray for a good school year for everyone.

Sunday Afternoon Addition

Charles Ray Bennett called to tell me his mother, “Miss” Elizabeth, just passed way peacefully surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  He said the wake would be Tuesday night at the Arcola Baptist Church with the funeral Wednesday morning.  He said his mother was now with his daddy who passed away forty-nine years ago.  I clearly remember that day when his military plane went down with all lost with it.  “Miss” Elizabeth worked hard to raise those five children alone.  Please pray for this family.

Sunday Afternoon

A few requests for you this afternoon:

  • Lindsey Booty, brother of Betty Simpson, has shingles on his face.  Betty requests prayers for him.
  • Mr. Butch Miller is still hospitalized in Hammond and would be appreciative of your prayers.
  • Mrs. Hazel Smith said her granddaughter, Angela Bridges, is probably doing too much.  Pray she will soon get over the complications she is experiencing.  Little Adrian is doing okay, but has a long ways to go before he can come home.  Please keep this family in your prayers.
  • Mrs. Elisabeth Bethel Bennett of Roseland is not doing well.  Her family is by her side.  Pray for peace and comfort for her as well as for her large family.

Sunday

“His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family

by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.

And this gave him great pleasure.”

~Ephesians 1:5 NLT~

 

The Lord has done it this very day;
   let us rejoice today and be glad.

Psalm 118:24

Continuation from last two days:
7.  God won’t ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked overtime for your family and loved ones.
8.  God won’t ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others.
9.  God won’t ask what your job title was, but will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
