“Call to Me,

I will answer you,

and show you great and mighty things,

which you do not know.”

~Jeremiah 33:3, NKJV~

 

Continue to pray for Mr. and Mrs. James Miller.  Remember the upcoming blood drive.  Please call FBC, Kentwood at 229-8111 to sign up.  The blood drive will be January 24 from 9:00 to 3:00.

Continue to pray for Mrs. Tulie Dean who is still getting therapy at Hood Memorial.

Pray for Susan Rimes as she continues testing to determine which nerves are causing her problems.  Hopefully, this will give her some relief.

Please continue to pray for Harrell Sharkey as he prepared for surgery on Feb. 1.

David and I are very thankful and blessed to share that the spot in his lung is NOT cancer. Please continue to pray as cultures are grown to determine what the problem is.  One good thing we have learned is that David can go ahead with the ablation.  This morning he will be contacting doctors and “getting that ball rolling” again.

Also, Keith Womack is to have back surgery this week.  Let’s pray he will be relieved of the pain when this is done.

Please pray for the Blackwell family.  Mr. John Alan lost a sister-in-law.  She did not live here, but will be buried here Saturday morning.

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Lottie Moon Offering for International Missions We have reached 87% of our goal. Hopefully, we will soon be at more than 100%.  If you read The Prayer Link, you probably know that there is a great financial need to keep missionaries on the field.  Let give again, not focusing on the goal, but on the need.

Tuesday

You were taught,

with regard to your former way of life,

to put off your old self,

which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

and to put on the new self,

created to be like God

in true righteousness and holiness.

 

Rev. Franklin Graham is conducting a 50-state tour – PRAY, VOTE, and ENGAGE –  of the country.  Tomorrow, Wednesday, he will be in Baton Rouge for a prayer rally.  If you would like be join him, be at North Boulevard Town Square, about three blocks from the Mississippi River, at noon.  I think it will be an event you will remember the rest of you lives.  I have wonderful memories of attending Rev. Billy Graham’s crusade meeting. If you can attend Wednesday’s event, you’ll surely be blessed, encouraged, and motivated.

If you didn’t begin on the first, grab a notebook, your Bible, and a pen.  You can be caught up in a couple hours.  The link to the Scripture is for those who prefer to copy from the computer or phone.  I suppose that may even help some people with size of the text.

Some of you will have dresses to donate.  Others may want to help meet other needs. Maybe this information will be helpful to some young parents.  Use it if you heart or life is touched.

I trust this post, as well as all the others, leaves you with something that has touched your heart.

Happy New Year!

And we know that in all things

God works for the good of those who love him,

who have been called according to his purpose.

~ Romans 8:28~

 

Last year, on 1-1-15, I started a Blesssings/Thankfulness project.  Each day of 2015, I wrote some way I was blessed that day or something I was thankful for.  I completed the year by writing the 12-31-15 paper last night.  I had an old, unusual vase that I tied a small ribbon around.  That has been my collection jar.  On day, hopefully soon, I will take all the papers out of the jar, organize them by date and put them in a notebook.  Now, will I start a new jar or use a new method for 2016?  That remains to be seen!

Without reading all those papers, I can tell you God richly blessed me this past year.  I am so thankful for His love and watch-care over me and those I love so much.

 

Mrs. Mary Nell Kliesch is continuing to improve.  Keep her in your prayers.

Mr. James Miller has had a few good days.  He has a break before the next round of treatment.  Stay tuned for information about giving blood to replace some of what he has used lately.

 

Scripture Writing – January 1 – Isaiah 43:16-19
