Tuesday

“God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of spiritual gifts.

Manage them well so that God’s generosity can flow through you….

Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.

Then God will be given glory.”

~1 Peter 4:10-11 NLT~

Linda B. Willians’ pacemaker is giving her assurance of help when her heart periodically takes a rest.  She did well with surgery and should be at home some time today.  Thank God the doctors were able to determine her problem and fix it.

Dickey Sitman has been hospitalized at North Oaks for a couple days undergoing tests.  Pray the doctors can quickly asses the need and “fix” it.

Mrs. Magdalene Ford of Roseland is having surgery at Cypress Point today.  Then, she should be there for the better part ofr a week.  Pray for her family as they wait through the surgery today and for the doctors as they make decisions about her care.

Today, at 11:00, there will be an informal luncheon for the Councils who will be leaving our area to leave near their daughter.  Pray for them as they make this move and adjust to a new life in South Carolina.

January 26 is the date for a women’s retreat at FBC, Kentwood.  I asked some questions and did some research so I could supply answers to questions from ladies in our area.  The speaker will be Rochelle Frazier of Magnolia.  She is about 40 and has been through many trials in life.  Through it all, she has learned to depend on God.  You can read more about her and her books at http://www.hegavemepearls.com/.

I’m enjoying my 90 reading of the Bible so much that I am reading ahead a little.  The assigned passage for Day 6 is Exodus 15:19 – 28:43.  I hope some of you are enjoying this study with me.

Raymond Cutrer’s post about Rafe

Hello everyone. Brandy and I wanted to thank you all for the many calls and messages regarding Rafe. He was admitted yesterday to Children’s Hospital with RSV. The very good news is that right now he is stable with good O2 sat’s and his fever has been under control today. The problems he is having stem from his existing condition. He is not strong enough to produce a good cough to clear his upper respiratory track. He is even further weakened by a seizure he had the day after Christmas and has not eaten since then. He is very sick and has been crying for two days straight. The plan is to keep him on iv fluids and nutrition until he “turns the corner” and begins to eat and drink again. The doctor seem to think this should happen within a day or two. We are moving in the right direction just slowly. On top of all this Brandy and I have RSV too! We need your prayers for Rafe and for us to maintain our strength. especially Brandys right ear which is full of fluid and won’t drain. To be honest we are exhausted in every way but we know and live for a God that is bigger than any problem we may face. We trust him completely and ask that you all pray for his will to be done. We are very thankful for all of our family and friends!

The Lottie Moon Christmas Tea was beautiful, well attended, and worth the time involved.  There were ladies from East Fork, New Zion, Bethel, Amite, and Kentwood.   It was nice to spend some time together as we shared about Lottie Moon.  Thanks to all who came and to all who helped make the tea come together.
