David learned today that his heart is still in rhythm.  We thank God for that good report.

Monday

I’m still recovering from getting too hot last night.  I’ll post early this afternoon if I can.  Pray for me that I can recover from the way I feel now.

Three requests, Tommie Kuss, brother of Mr. Charlie, is in New Orleans  Ochsner Hospital with several issues.  He’s very sick.

One of the Vining sisters, Edwina, is not doing well.  You may remember she had a procedure last  week that seemed to have good results at the time.  She’s in her mid to  late 80’s, if I remember correctly.

Also, Walter Dykes is scheduled to have some bypasses Wednesday.  Please begin praying for him.

Sunday

Jesus turned and saw her.

“Take heart, daughter,” he said,

“your faith has healed you.”

And the woman was healed from that moment.

~Matthew 9:22~

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

  • God’s Good Heart –  http://odb.org/
  • Count it all joy when you fall into various trials.                                                                                                                                                    ~James 1:2~
  • “God on the Mountain” – Lynda Randle was featured all hour long on the Bill Gathier program last night.  I hope some of you got to know her better and heard her testimony of how this song reflects her life.  I had no idea then that her song would fit so perfectly with the devotional that Our Daily Bread would post today.  That’s another one of those “God Winks”!

“Serve the Lord with Gladness” this Lord’s Day!

Friday

“As for me,

I vow that I will not sin against the LORD

by ceasing to pray for you.”

~1 Samuel 12:23a, HCSB~

 

Please continue to pray for Willie Frazier and his family and Mike Lambert and his family.  As of last night, both men and their families continued to need the supported of our prayers.

Thursday – Mid-day

David had two procedures at the heart hospital in Lacombe  and the doctor reported the results to me before 7:45 this morning.  The results?  There were no blood clots and the heart is now back in rhythm.  Thanks to all who have prayed for him and to the doctors and wonderful staff at Lacombe.  Now, at 11:30, I have driven us home with a stop in Amite to eat something light, gumbo from Mike’s.  We are blessed in so many ways.

Thursday/Posted Early

I received a message that the Hatchels arrived safely to their home.  The three bags that didn’t arrive with them are scheduled to get to them in the morning.  Thank you to all of you who have prayed to them and us as the Hatchels make another transition in their life.

Virgie Morgan’s other sister also got a good report.  Surgery will not be required.

Read the Bible in 2015 – Proverbs 14-15

I’ll add to this post some time Thursday.

Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed;

save me and I will be saved,

for you are the one I praise.

Today, let’s think of all the situations each of us face in life.  Let’s focus of trusting Jesus in all that comes to us.  The peace the comes with with trust will carry us trough some difficult days.

Our Hatchel family members are still traveling to get home.  Thank you for your continued prayers for them.

Hatchel Family

Pray for the Hatchel family as they return to Europe today and tomorrow.  The will go though four airports and have numerous pieces of luggage and a dog.

I thank God they had a special assignment in the States for the past year and the opportunities we had to visit with them.  Now, I thank God for the opportunity for them to go “home” and do the work God has for them.

Mrs. Gloria Houeye

Mrs. Virgie Morgan said that her sister’s procedure at the Heart Hospital in Lacombe went well yesterday.  One sister has done well this week.  Now, let’s pray for the other sister’s health issue.

Praise the Lord. Gloria came through with flying colors. She did well and will be home tomorrow if all goes well the rest of today and tonight. She is in Louisiana Heart Hospital in Lacombe and will stay in ICU tonight. They will get her up tomorrow and take out all the tubes and if she does ok will come home. Thanks for all your thoughts and expecially your prayers.

Mike Lambert

Mike Lambert is hospitalized at St. Tammany and will have quadruple by-passes today.  Please pray for Mike, his family, and the medical staff caring for him.
