Macy Gueldner is finished with her chemo, but still has her port.  Last night her mother had to make an emergency trip to the hospital in Baton Rouge that has been involved with Macy’s treatment.  Macy had high fever and other problems.  Pray for this family to remain strong and faithful even on the most difficult of days!  May Macy’s family be reminded of God’s faithfulness, even of the difficult days.

It’s the time of year to think of graduations, and even more importantly, graduates!  You may or may not be attending the actual graduation ceremonies.  The graduates may or may not be relatives, but graduation, at any level, is a big step.  Today, let’s think of all the graduates we know and say or do something to guide and encourage them in life.

Operation Christmas Child – If you were not at church Sunday, but will be shopping today or tomorrow, stop by the church today to pull some cards from the OCC wreaths in the auditorium.  Our gifts will bless some young boys and girls who might not otherwise have any Christmas gifts.  Best of all, they will have literature and opportunities to learn about Jesus because of the “shoebox” we send.

He has delivered us from such a terrible death,

We have put our hope in Him

that He will deliver us again.

~2 Corinthians 1:10 HCSB~

 

Today, let’s focus our prayers on the faces and names of those who were once more active than they are now, the homebound.  Let’s not follow the old saying, “Our of sight, out of mind!”.  They are not limited to this quick list I made this morning.

  • Othell Williams
  • Philip and Annie Bell Harrell
  • Evelyn Bridges
  • Hazel Smith
  • Ed and Jeanette McGehee
  • Catherine Yarborough (Kentwood Manor)
  • Jimmy Schwartz
  • Frances Strickland (Landmark Nursing Home)
  • Angie Redmond (Greensburg Nursing Home)
  • Lucy Goings (Landmark Nursing Home)

Pray for those graduating from high schools, colleges, and seminaries this month.  I’ll not attempt to list them all.

Today is the National Day of Prayer across our nation.  Most towns/communities/cities will have a celebration of some sort.  If you cannot participate at the set time and location, please set aside some time to have prayer with those at your home or even alone.  In Amite, the event will be at the city hall at 11:30 this morning.  In Kentwood, the ceremony will begin at noon.  Join them if you can.

Operation Christmas Child – Check a wreath at church for a small card with a need for out shoeboxes.  Bring items to me or take to my Sunday School class.  Let’s pack some wonderful boxes for children who might otherwise not have Christmas.  Always remember, appropriate Christian materials in the child’s language are included in each box.  Your box could be the very one to introduce a child to Jesus.

Jennie made it safely home to her family.  We are still thanking God for our brief visit together.  It was almost a year since we last saw her.  That’s the shortest time ever!  Yes, we were greatly surprised and thrilled!  We are so appreciative of all the family and friends who were “in on the secret” and helped it to happen.  What a blessing!

To the roots of the mountains I sank down;

the earth beneath barred me in forever.

But you, LORD my God,

brought my life up from the pit

~Jonah 2:6~

Last night, as I was preparing the devotional for tonight’s Ladies’ Night: Upsy-Daisy, I found this verse in my inbox.  It fits perfectly!  It was a God-wink!  I think we all need Scriptural reminders periodically.  God has them waiting for us!

Speaking of Ladies’ Night, it’s tonight at 6:15.  I hope each of you area ladies will be coming and bringing a guest or two.  Remind your friends from area churches.  Do it now.  If you put it off, it will be too late tomorrow.

Our musical guests will be back at popular request.  We’ll have Heather and Emily Miller sharing their talents on the violins.  You don’t want to miss these two young ladies. Not only are they talented, but they use their talents for the Lord.

 

Jennie has been here for two days.  What a surprise she gave us!  What a blessing it has been to visit, shop, and eat together!  She’ll begin her flights home about noon today.  I know her family has missed her.  They were so excited about surprising us.  We were shocked, but so pleased.  In about  twenty years of living far away, this was a first!

Please feel free to pray for her as she travels home and begins to adjust to the seven hour time difference.  Thank God for the opportunity she had to come to the states and learn some things that will impact her work with those who are learning new languages.

Please continue to pray for Firma Kay Schneeweiss  who continues to have kidney stone issues.  She will appreciate your prayers.

Please pray for Sarah Newman Schneeweiss also.  She has an anxious-to-be-born son who doesn’t think he should wait about four more weeks.
