Category: “Young” Ladies’ Birthday Parties

Tuesday

For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither the present nor the future,

nor any powers,  

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~Romans 8:38-39~

 

Justin Lambert continues to make those around him of tiny steps of improvement.  They are so very appreciative of your prayers and ask that you continue to pray.

David will have eye surgery in a couple weeks.  Hopefully, this will be the last one!

“Young” Ladies’ Birthday Party at 11:00 this morning at The Cafe

 

I apologize for being later than usual, but among other things we have had three phone calls this morning.

 

This is the day the Lord has given us.  Let’s try to do our part today.

“I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom

people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.

“For he is the living God and he endures forever;

his kingdom will not be destroyed,

his dominion will never end.

He rescues and he saves;

he performs signs and wonders

in the heavens and on the earth.

He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”  

   ~Daniel 6:26-27~

Operation Christmas Child – I trust you are making purchases each month for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.  I have an additional request now.  This year I would like to include a note, card, or letter in each box.  That means we will need to write for several boys and girts.  You can write something as simple as “Jesus loves you and so do I.” or compose your own message.  You may use an index card, a purchased card, or a send a card you made from scratch.  You decide.  Do some now and some later.  Have your children or grandchildren help you.  If you do not live in Kentwood, but still would like to help, mail them to me or to the church.  Get in on the blessings waiting for us.

I want to remind you of this handwritten note and the difference it made.     Azima and a Handwritten Note – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/shoebox-stories-azima-and-a-handwritten-note/

Monday

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you,

then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,

whether the gods your ancestors

served beyond the Euphrates,

or the gods of the Amorites,

in whose land you are living.

But as for me and my household,

we will serve the LORD.”

~Joshua 24:15~

Friday

Husbands, love your wives,

just as Christ loved the church

and gave himself up for her.

~Ephesians 5:25~

(Yesterday, while in Amite for a wake, I noticed the sign at Master Chef that always has wonderful thoughts.  The sign said, “Husbands, love your spouse”.  Later, I saw the other sign which also had a good message.  I took the opportunity to speak to the owner, Tony LaMarca, and ask him who chose the sayings and congratulate him for putting such messages out for all to see.  Tony said while getting ready for church Sunday he heard a TV pastor, Charles Stanley, talk about that.  I expressed my appreciation.  When this scripture came up on my computer this morning, I considered it to be a reminder of what happened yesterday and take the opportunity to ask you to encourage Tony and others who boldly express their faith in a public way.)

 

Bonnie Blue Baham,  granddaughter for Rufus and  Margie Williams, was involved in a head-on traffic accident in Hammond last night according to Bonnie’s mother, Scarlet.  Bonnie was carefully checked out and sent home.  Her mother is with her at home.  Thankfully, Bonnie has no broken bones.  Pray for Bonnie and her family.

Mr. John Alan Blackwell will be spending some time in Hood Memorial so he can get PT. Please pray for him as he continues to recover from his accident.

Mrs. Grace Chadwick is at the nursing home in Greensburg.  Please pray for her.

Mrs. Mary Varnado, Gretchen Simpson’s mother, had a pacemaker now and will be recovering from the surgery in the coming weeks.  Pray for her as she limits her activity.

Sherman Cutrer continues to improve following his last surgery and will probably get to return home next week.  Keep pray for him and his caregivers.

I found this report of the accident on highway 38 yesterday.  I’m sure you can identify prayer needs from both of these accidents.

Thursday Addition

As I opened my email this morning, I prayed for the right verse for me to pop up.  It did! Thank you, Lord Jesus!  I needed that reminder.

Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid;

do not be discouraged,

for the LORD your God will be with you

wherever you go.”

~Joshua 1:9~

 

Pray for Mr. Johnny and Mrs. Juanita Pritchett today and in the coming days.

Members of Justin Lambert‘s family continue to request prayers on his behalf.

Richard Dees of Amite, long time voice of WABL radio station, has been hospitalized for several days and undergoing tests.  Please pray for Richard.

Mrs. Betty Bethel, formerly of Roseland and Kentwood, passed away last night.  Services for her will be Saturday morning.  Burial will be at Arcola with her family members, I  fell confident to tell you.

 Be on your guard;

be strong.

~I Corinthians 16:13~

 

Pray for Landon and Alisha Estay and their families.  Their unborn son passed away and joined his sister in heaven.

Please continue to pray for Wanda Smith’s dad.  There were complications during and following surgery.  Wanda said the family would appreciate your continued prayers.

Sherman Cutrer had some much needed surgery yesterday that has made a tremendous difference for him.  He is off the vent, talking, and expected to sit up and possibly walk some today.  Please continue to pray.

Chris Primes, the speaker for tomorrow’s Ladies’ Night, regretfully called to report he fell at home and broke some ribs.  He’s in much pain and has been told to expect that for four weeks before he will have relief.  Chris asked to be invited again when he is healthier.

Mrs. Sis Cox of Greensburg had surgery at Ochsner yesterday.  She came through the surgery well.  Pray for her as she recovers from surgery.

Justin Lambert had a problem yesterday that was a big concern.  Hopefully, that situation is cleared up.  Prayers are needed for Justin and for his family.

Mr. John Alan Blackwell continues to undergo tests at North Oaks.  He and his family will be appreciative of your prayers as the medical staff checks him out well.
