Friday

Keep your lives free from the love of money

and be content with what you have,

because God has said, “Never will I leave you;

never will I forsake you.”

 So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?”

~Hebrews 13:5-6~

 

Justin Lambert is making progress.  It’s all in God’s timing!

Mrs. Gloria Stephens wound up at Greensburg hospital after battling a virus since the beginning of the week.  She is expecting to come home today.  Mr. Gene has also been sick.  Pray for people who get what seems like a little virus until it won’t go away quickly.

Operation Christmas Child -“Irina and a Pencil Sharpener”  https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/shoebox-stories-irina-and-a-pencil-sharpener/  (Yesterday, David and I made another shopping trip for school supplies.  We were able to make purchases for a couple who wrote a check and allowed us to do the shopping for them.  Of course, we also made some additional purchases for ourselves too.  Once again, many people who saw us commented about me making purchases for my classroom.  We were able to tell them about Operation Christ Child.  Some knew what we meant, but some did not!  What a joy and blessing it was to help them understand OCC.  Again, I apologized to the cashier for the many items that had to be checked out individually, but as we talked, she told us how bless she was to check us out and learn about the shoeboxes.  That just doesn’t happen every time we check out!  The lady and young girl in front of us saw us putting the items on the counter and got interested.  She shared that her children have a garage sale and use the money they earn to pack shoeboxes.  Last time, her  two children packed 17 boxes!  We had the opportunity to encourage them to continue.  That was another blessing.  I wish we could have heard the conversation then had when they left….)

Yesterday was not a flagship day in our state when you consider brave, selfless police officers gave their lives to make Baton Rouge a better place.  I have known and continue to know a number of officers there and in other places.  I respect them!  Today, I’m proud of them, but sad for families that will never be whole again.  We all know that God has prepared a home for his children in heaven.  Most people do not die in a moment of bravery, be we will all die. I know I will live in heaven one day.  I am so thankful I was part of a church service last night that ended with the opportunity for all to pray.  They youth prayed in one area of the auditorium on their knees, while the “older folks” sat reverently and took a turn to pray aloud.  I cannot describe how special that was, but I am thankful I had the opportunity to be a part of the service.

 “Enter through the narrow gate.

Children on Mission had three new children last night.  It is not too late to bring someone to join us from 6-7 P.M.  We also had two guests last night, Bubba Roberts with his guitar and harmonica and David Alford with stories of experiences in other countries (like missionaries who sacrifice to share the good news of Jesus).

I am getting good report from the vacation Bible schools this week.  My little children be drawn to Jesus through their efforts.
