Friday

“[God] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us.”

~Ephesians 3:20~

 

Jan Yarborough was released from the hospital yesterday and went to her sister’s for the night.  Today, they will come to Jan’s.  Thank God Jan’s surgery went well and that her sister is available to help her until she is moving around a little better.

Austin Rose has had some ups and downs the last couple of days, but mainly ups!  He has even been able to go our for a little basketball.  His hair is thinning some, but that is a small price to pay to eliminate cancer.  Keep praying.

Jimmy Dufrene is still undergoing tests to determine what his problem is.  Susan, of Lara’s Gowns for Smiles, is sticking close by.  Pray for endurance for her and answers for Jimmy.

Last night, we had our Third Thursday Meeting.  It was such a blessing to me.  Jimmy Schwartz, fresh out of the hospital, came.  That thrilled my heart.  Our new participant was Ruby Schwartz.  She even sang “In the Presence of Jehovah” for us.  Andy Taylor led our worship time.  Mr. Harlan Toney sang too and made me smile, as usual.  Six churches were represented!  To God be all the glory!

Inspirational – A Moment of Truth – “Thankful for Your Service” – http://moments.org/thank-you-for-your-service/

If we consider those who have served in out military over the years, we will realize they helped make our present world possible for us to enjoy.  Last month, I asked Andy Taylor to sing “Thank You” at our gathering last night.  He did.  We have many people to thank for our Christian background and our growing in the Lord.  That’s what the song says so well for me.

Another day and more opportunities to serve so we can make a difference for God!

Thursday

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,

for You will answer me.”

~Psalm 85:7~

 

Jan Yarborough is progressing nicely after her knee replacement Monday at Our Lady of the Lake.  Today, a decision will be made about her rehab.  It could be at Baton Rouge.  If not, she will come home today.  Pray the decision will be the one that is to her greater benefit.

Continue to pray for Jimmy Schwartz and his family.  He is still at North Oaks.

Ashlyn DeBlanc’s surgery went well yesterday.  She should be able to come home today.  Pray her rehab goes smoothly so she can get back to her normal life.

Jimmy, the husband of Susan Dufrene who sews all the hospital gown for children with cancer, developed low blood pressure and stoppage of his heart yesterday.  He is hospitalized in Thibodaux.  Pray he gets the proper treatment to return to his normal life.

Pray for peace and unity in our country.
