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.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

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.

Third Thursday – Tonight at the Alford cabin at 6:30 P.M.

I read that Mike Pence is going to have the Bible open to II Chronicles 7:14 tomorrow when he is sworn in as vice-president.

But they make themselves humble in my sight.

They pray and look to me.

And they turn from their evil ways.

Then I will listen to them from heaven.

I will forgive their sin.

And I will heal their land.

After all,

they are my people.

Hymn of the Day – Sung at church last night – “Set My Soul Afire”

I think that is a perfect request for the beginning of a new day.
