Sunday

The righteous cry out,

and the Lord hears,

and delivers them from all their troubles.

~Psalm 34:17 HCSB~

 

Jason Dean is home from the hospital and doing much better.  Let’s thank God for Jason’s improvement.

Mrs. Evelyn Bridges will be moved to another facility soon, but the decision as to where has not been made yet.  Thank God for her improvement since the stroke.

Andy Taylor will be having hand surgery tomorrow in McComb.  Pray for him, his doctor, and the family.

I was going to give you “Miss” Ruby Dillon’s new room number, but I’m not real sure what the first two numbers were.  It may be 1106.  The __06 will get you to her room, which is at the back of the building.  I think our former neighbor in Roseland, Ruby King, is in the same facility, but I didn’t realize that until after we left.

 

Read the Bible – Daniel 7-9 & Psalm 57

 

Operation Christmas Child – Bring your highlighters, markers, and crayons to my Sunday School classroom before class this morning.  This next week we will be buying small glue sticks.  I have found the best price at Big Lots in Hammond, but the other stores have good prices when you purchase six or more in a package.  Happy shopping!  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the OCC storage room.  Thanks to David and Miles for helping me organize, sort, and count items twice this week.

 

It was our pleasure to meet a missionary family in Hammond last night.  They were passing through on their way from Florida to Texas, Oklahoma, and California where they will be leaving children who will all be college freshmen in the fall.  What a joy it was to spend some time with them!  As school begins, please pray for this couple who will be working in another state during this time.  The three young people graduated with our Mallory last month in Europe.  The parents said this step was harder for them than when they were the ones leaving their families to go overseas.
May God lead you to pray for this family, those listed above, and many others I do not know about today.

Sunday Addition

From Ginger Simmons:

Urgent Prayer Request
Our friend Hedgie was on his boat yesterday and was overcome by carbon monoxide by a faulty generator. He was found unconscious and his lab had died. He is in CCU very droggy but unable to speak. His levels are still extremely high and only time will tell of any lasting effects. Please pray that Gods will be done. Thx in advance.

 

 

Pray also for Sharon Courtney of Holden.  She is David’s brother’s sister-in-law.  She has a reoccurrence of cancer.  She will be going to Ochsner this week for treatment.

 

 

Sunday

 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because,

having stood the test,

that person will receive the crown of life

that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

~James 1:12~

 

From James Rimes –  Please pray for Mrs. Evelyn Bridges. She was airlifted to Tulane late Friday or early Saturday and required surgery. In ICU.                                                   Eleanor Morris told me yesterday, but by the time I got home, I forgot to post it.

Continue to pray for Linda K. Graves of East Fork.  She’s in a hospice in Slidell.  We will certainly miss her at WMU and at our Third Thursday meetings.

Read the Bible – Proverbs 19-21 and Psalm 4

Continue to pray for the many who are sick in our community.  Some illnesses that are common at this time of year are hard to get rid of.

Bobbie Magee has good news.  She is almost finished with her homebound days.  Her illness was very serious.  Her immune system was greatly weakened.  I know she will be glad to be returning to a more normal routine.
