Thursday

“That is why we never give up.

Though our bodies are dying,

our spirits are being renewed every day.

For our present troubles are small

and won’t last very long.

Yet they produce for us a glory

that vastly outweighs them

and will last forever!”

~2 Corinthians 4:15-17 NLT~

 

Thankfulness: Day 13 – I’m thankful for medical care.  No, David and I are not sick or seeing a doctor, but I have a number of friends who are.  I’m thankful they can get medical care and for the most part, be “good as new” soon.  For others, the medical care eases their life or their last days, for which I am thankful.

Mrs. Judy Liberto is hospitalized in Hammond for a few days of testing.  Pray they get her problem “figured out” so she can return to her normal life.  She in room 4108.  (She was sweet to call for an address to send a card to Mallory last week.  You know she will be receiving one from me now!)

Don Dickinson continues to do well following heart surgery.  He should be coming home today or tomorrow.  Continue to pray for Don and Judy during the recovery time.  Thank God Don’s appointment was scheduled for that particular day.

Pray for the Blackwell family.  They seem to have a “full plate”, but thankfully God has given Alan Ray and Mr. John Alan such sweet spirits.  Pray for them and for their family members.

Mr. Bud Callihan continues to be in North Oaks.  Thank God for the faithfulness of “Miss” Verna and others.  Pray for peace and comfort for Mr. Bud and continued strength and faithfulness for the family and friends.

Theresa Rhodus, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. “Red” Rhodus, is hospitalized in Lafayette.  She is very sick.  Please pray for the family.

Sherman Cutrer has had one surgery this week and will probably have another on tomorrow.  Thank God for His faithfulness to Sherman and his family.

Mr. Bobby Lawson is still hospitalized in McComb.  He is a little better.  Continue to pray for him.

Mrs. Anne Hurst is better.  Thank you for praying for her.

Jimmy Schwartz will be completing his radiation treatment Thursday of next week.  Thank God for those who took turns getting Jimmy back and forth to Mary Bird Perkins for his treatment.

Mr. Nick Salidino has suddenly become very ill.  Please pray for “Miss” Peggy, Nicky, and other family members and friends.

Cindy Juban, Andy Taylor’s sister, was prepped for surgery when the medical staff found she had a slight temperature.  The process was shut down.  Pray for Cindy as she deals with the delay.  May she she God’s hand in the delay.

Continue to pray for Donna Fay Miller and others undergoing medical tests.  May the tests reveal what needs to be done in each situation so these people can have a better, less stressful life.

John Perkins: Historic time for race relations

Race relations pioneer John Perkins, in a lecture at Southern Seminary, sees “a pivot place in history.” Perkins, 84, points to “an underlying movement today that now people are wanting to do mission with people, and they want to learn from people,” and they see the diversity of human beings as “a value in life.”

Hope Center

As the first freeze approaches I think of the people who do not have a warm coat that fits them and keeps them warm on the days like we are facing later this week. If you have some extra winter clothing you will not be wearing this year, please consider donating it to Hope Center in Roseland. You can drop the clothing off there, leave it just inside the door to the office of FBC, Kentwood, or let me know. I will make arrangements to have it picked up or pick it up myself. It would be nice to have more long sleeve shirts, sweats, sweaters, robes, jackets, and coats to offer at Hope Center. The sooner you can drop off the items, the better. That old thermometer is dropping!

Lottie Moon Tea 

Ladies of all ages, if your church has not already made plans to send ladies and girls to the Lottie Moon Tea, it’s time to start. The tea will be Sunday, November 30th at 2 P.M. at FBC, Kentwood. This is for ladies from all our area churches. There is no cost, just show up, but be sure to do that. The program will be varied this year with special music led by and presented by Diane Simmons, skits by EGBC and NZBC, and information about Lottie Moon and the offering we take in her honor so you can share with your church. Mark you calendar. Begin announcing at your church. Plan to be a part and learn something you didn’t know. I hope to see all of you there. Feel free to bring a friend or two with you.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

I hope you are already getting in the Thanksgiving frame of mind.  If you are not there every day, this is certainly the time of the year to get there.

Thankfulness Day 9:  Today, I am thankful for Hope Center.  What a benefit this place has already been to those who have received food, shopped, etc.!   In such a short time, Hope has given hope and love to many families  In addition, the people there are ALL VOLUNTEERS, yet not a day has rolled around that Hope wasn’t adequately staffed with some special Christian people.  Not a day goes by that we cannot easily give away crosses, Bibles, and Christian literature.  I’m thankful I can be involved.  I’ve been so blessed!

Please pray for these people who are hospitalized:

Thankfulness: Day 8, God’s Timing – Today, I’m thankful for family members having a special assignment in the States for a year.  When Mallory had a medical need this week, she quickly received first class treatment.  It’s always good to recognize God’s hand in the timing of life’s events.

Macy Gueldner

“Macy’s Mystery Fevers” finally have a diagnosis…. a central line infection. NOT good!! The cultures grew a bacteria, that is most likely growing in her line (straight to her heart.) So, Jeremy and Macy are rushing to the hospital to get antibiotics started. This is a new one for us, so we’re not really sure of the protocol, but we know that OLOL have us a “suite” waiting. We’ll be inpatient for a few days, probably until there’s no evidence of infection.

Cate will be cheering in the game tonight, so we’ll stay back for a few hours, unless things worsen.

Please pray for Macy to be healed quickly, and that we can STAY HOME, for work and school, with MUCH LESS interruptions!

Mr. Bobby Lawson was taken to Southwest Hospital Thursday Night.  Continue to pray for him and those caring for him.
Three requests from Suzanne Crowe
  • I am scheduled to have one of my knees replaced on November 25. Please
    pray that the surgery and recovery will go well.
  • Also, please pray for my husband, Joe, who has not been feeling well lately. It has been 14 years since he was diagnosed with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia).
  • And, of course, please pray for our daughter, Melanie Lucido, who battles Wegener’s disease on a daily basis.

But, even with all our problems, God has been so good to us and we put our trust and faith in him now and forever. We appreciate your prayers on our behalf!

Chris Wales

He was moved this afternoon to the Neuro-Medical Center Rehab Hosp at Bluebonnet and Perkins to begin the next phase of his recovery. He’ll probably be there for a week, maybe two, depending on how well he progresses through rehab. Prayers are still requested as I’m thinking this will be a tough time for him. He was running fever this afternoon and still in a lot of discomfort. The fever has broken and he is medicated and will hopefully get some rest tonight. Thank you.  Kathy

Mrs. Anne Hurst – “Miss” Anne is in Greensburg hospital for regular medication and monitoring.  Pray with her that she can get back in her routine soon.

Susan Rimes will have additional testing on her thyroid on November 12th and surgery on the 18th at North Oaks.  Pray for Susan and her family as she prepares for this to happen.

Unspoken request for friends – Pray for some friends who are not ready to share their need here yet.

Please pray for the family of Kay and Marty Simpson and Melissa Johnson.  Their mother’s sister, Ana Martinez, passed away.

Thankfulness, Day 6 – Today, I am thankful for the Thanksgiving season for two reasons. One, our ancestors recognized how important God has been in their individual lives and the life of our country  and set a special time of the year for us.  Two, we are reminded to count our blessings and thank the One who has done so much for us individually, as a family, as a church community, as a country, and as a world. The greatest thing is that Jesus died for the sins of all of us so that we might have a heavenly home forever when we leave this imperfect world.  There is no greater gift any of us could ever hope for!

Mallory Hatchel – I haven’t heard from Jennie yet this morning, but expect an update after the doctor makes rounds this morning.  I am thankful that her siblings could visit last night. They all had to wear blue gowns to be there.

Wednesday Evening

Update on Mallory Hatchel 

She’s spending a second night in the hospital.  She’ll be at home for a couple of weeks with home health before returning to school.

Johnny Santangelo

From Megan:
“We met with Lil Man’s radiation oncologist this morning. After looking at the MRI and assessing Lil Man, he still thinks the area they are watching is just pseudoprogression. Lil Man is asymptomatic and feeling great! The perfusion portion of the MRI is not back yet so we will still have to wait on those results. The doctors have cleared Lil Man to go home and he will follow up again in a month. They are very pleased with how he is doing and told him to continue whatever he is doing! We all know the power of prayer and God Almighty are why he is doing so well!! Praise God!! We love you all and thank you for the continued prayers!!” Thanks to all for everything! , Hunter

Donna Fay Miller is continuing to have medical tests and medication changes.  Pray her issues will be resolved soon.

Baptist Friendship House

It is so amazing to watch relationships form and grow with the individuals that come to get snack packs and hygiene kits each week. For some of the people it isn’t just about getting the much needed items placed in the packs. It’s more about getting to spend time in conversation with people that truly care about them and what is happening in their lives. One man comes all the way across town on his bike just to spend time with us. Others, simply enjoy a place to sit down, eat a snack, and read the newspaper. Pray for each person that comes to receive the snack packs and hygiene kits and for the relationships that continue to grow between them and our volunteers and staff.

Tuesday

Thankfulness, Day 4:  Today, I want to add friends.  There are many of you.  Some are my age, some older, and some younger.  You live in Kentwood,  Roseland,  Amite,  Fluker, Osyka, Greensburg, and many other places.  We are connected through my school days, my school teaching days, churches, mutual friends, and other ways.  I just know you are there for me with a smile, a hug, a kind word, or a bit of encouragement.  Thank-you, God, for blessing me with so many friends!

Sherry Day shared her big news – NO CANCER!  She received the call yesterday afternoon.  Her family, friends, and many who don’t even know her have prayed.  Thank-you to each one for the prayers.  Thank-you, God, that you still have things for Sherry to do here on earth.

Another neighbor, Chris Wales, will be having surgery this afternoon.   It will be a “spinal decompression and fusion at 3:30 at the BRGenBluebonnet”.   Please pray for Chris and the family.

Continue to pray for Mr. Bobby Lawson who is in the V.A. Hospital in Jackson.

Johnnie “Lil-Man” Santangello will be having a MRI in Arizona this afternoon.  Pray that it shows improvement in treatment of his brain tumor.

Today at 11:00 at The Cafe, we will celebrate the birthday of some special “young” ladies from church.  How special this day is each month.

I’m happy to say that FBC, K has surpassed their goal for the Georgia Barnett Offering for State Missions.  Our goal was $8,000, but we have $9,236.30.  Giving directly to the mission offerings means that 100% goes to missions.  You can still give even though we have achieved our goal.  In fact, you can give to any of our mission offerings any time of the year. Thank-you for realizing the importance of missions!

It was great to be a part of the Baptist Women’s Day of Prayer yesterday.  Cora Morris at Hillsdale does a good job of involving ladies from a number of churches.  The fact that women all around the world were praying for the same thing on the same day was so inspiring.

Hope Center is continuing to do well.  There are 212 people signed up for the food bank and numerous regular customers at the store.  Needs are being met.  If you have any appliances, furniture, or household items, we can find them a new home.  Thanks to all who have volunteered to serve on a regular basis or to come when called.  You make the scheduling process so much easier.

Sunday

First, be aware of the time change this morning.  If you didn’t set the clocks back last night, you should do so now, but if you don’t you can go on to church an hour early and enjoy the extra time to read your Bible and pray.  That wouldn’t be a bad idea after all.

“Everyone should be quick to listen,

slow to speak

and slow to become angry, 

because human anger does not produce

the righteousness that God desires. 

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth

and the evil that is so prevalent

and humbly accept the word planted in you,

which can save you.”

~James 1:19b-21 NIV~

Forgiving others is a BIG thing.  It is certainly not a Godly trait to hold grudges.

THANKS!

So many people contributed to the shoeboxes, to packing them, and to shipping them.  We were a little short of our goal for shipping, plus we packed an extra ten boxes so we will need a little extra money today ($7.00/box).  Our church set and surpassed an all time record for the number of boxes packed.  The children who receive these boxes will be so blessed by all the treasures they find.  My hope is that they also find Jesus!

Mrs. Theople Hurst came to church yesterday afternoon to help prepare the boxes for the packing party and stayed until every one was ready for deliver.  Pray for her as she continues trying to get a diagnosis and treatment for her recent health issue.

Gold City and Andy Taylor

It’s not ofter a group such as Gold City comes to the Kentwood area, so make your plans to be at The Lord’s Church at 6 P.M. tonight.  To add some “icing” to the event, Andy Taylor will be singing during the intermission for Gold City.  Tickets were not sold. Donations will be received tonight.

Hope Center had another good week.  We have learned that appliances and furniture are in big demand.  If you have something and cannot transport it, please call Hope to make arrangements for a pick up.  The number there is 247-2235.  Remember, they are not open of Monday, but work half a day on Saturday.  Thanks for volunteering and for making purchases there.  So many people are being blessed.  The number of people signed up for the food bank is more than two hundred!  We are providing better and better boxes each time.

Reminder:  Tuesday the “young” ladies of FBC,K will celebrate the October birthdays.  We had to delay this by a week, but will meet Tuesday at 11:00 at The Cafe.  Join us for a sweet time with a number of ladies from the church.

Reminder number 2:  Today is the day to bring your frozen  food for a family.  Please bring your quart size filled bags to my Sunday School classroom before Sunday School.  The food will be delivered this afternoon.  Your efforts will greatly assist the people!

Have a blessed day!

I saw Nancy Carruth of Greensburg last night.  She asks for prayer between now and a procedure on Tuesday in Baton Rouge.  She also asks for prayer for her doctor to have a good plan for treatment for her.

Susan Rimes is still scheduled to see a surgeon on November 6th to discuss thyroid surgery. Let’s pray for Susan and the surgeon as they get ready for this day.

Susie Sharkey asks for prayer for her grandson, Xander, who was transported to Ochsner because of trouble breathing.  Xander is almost three.

Hope Center had the best day yet yesterday.  Pray for another good day today.  Pray for lives to be helped and hearts touched.  Thank God for another association that donated money to buy the refrigeration units we need in order to give out refrigerated items in our food bank.  We will be open from 9:00 – 1:00 today.  Come see us!
