Sunday

“I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.

I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything.

I have learned the secret of living in every situation,

whether it is with a full stomach or empty,

with plenty or little.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

~Philippians4:11-13 NLT~

Saturday

“Don’t worry about anything;

instead pray about everything;

tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.

If you do this, you will experience God’s peace,

which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.”

~Philippians 4:6-7 LB~

Ora Lee Wilson is doing well following her hand surgery.  She said she is expecting a major improvement in the use of her right hand.  She already on the path to much improved use of the hand.  Thank God for carrying her through this time.

Ora Lee reported that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are both in need of our prayers.  She said they and their families continue to struggle with sufficient care and setbacks.

Today, please look on Facebook for “Prayers of Eli”.  Then, take some time to specifically pray for him and for other children who are very sick.

Thursday Addition

Robby Lynn Callihan Kirby will have major surgery on May 28th at Baptist Hospital in Jackson, MS to remove a malignant tumor on the tail of her pancreas.  About half of her pancreas and the spleen will be removed.  The tumor should be completely gone, so no chemotherapy will be needed.  Pray for Robbie Lynn and for her family as she undergoes yet another surgery for yet another problem.  Pray for peace and comfort for all before, during, and after this surgery.
