PRAYER FOCUS

Today, let’s pray for trade schools and colleges that will be instructing our current high school graduates next year. Pray for safe environments, motivated teachers, and friends/classmates with a similar focus who will be an encouragement. Also, let’s pray churches will provide a class and motivated teachers so the students have a great class to continue to learn and serve through.

A second prayer focus will be on families as they provide proper vacations for their families this summer. More and more, we are hearing about bad things happening in environments that provide unsafe and nonChristian environments that we do not want our friends and family to be involved in. Choose carefully.

Get out and/or reach out to show some Christian love today.

BETH

Beth and her childhood family grew up around the corner from us. She was older than me, but her brother Lionel and brother-in-law, Curtis Dykes, were more my age. Her younger sisters were also my friends. Her family was very active in our church and her mother worked in the school cafeteria in Roseland. Beth was one of the prettiest girls I knew.

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

VISITATION FOR GEORGE EDDIE LEE

Visitation is at First Baptist Church, Kentwood, from 9:00 AM until religious services at 12:00 Noon on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. 

PRAYER FOCUS FOR TODAY

We always want to remember the family of a deceased person in our prayers, but today I want to ask special prayers for two families who had deaths in the family close together. The Little family of Russelltown had a two deaths about a week apart. The Lee/Shockley family of Easleyville had two deaths about six weeks apart. One death is hard enough at a time. Please pray for the Little and Lee/Shockley families.

Operation Christmas Child

Thank-you to those who have continued to donate money for purchases and postage to ship the boxes. Prices for purchases have gone up, but so has the giving.

Also, thanks to classes and individuals who have purchased items that are needed. You have done a fantastic job this year and are greatly appreciated.

Thank-you to individuals who have given time to take care of making or preparing items for shipping. You make such a difference too.

It takes many people to prepare to ship 400 boxes to children. I can’t imagine trying to do this without all the “Willing Workers” we have at our church.

We have almost completed the purchasing and are beginning our emphasis on postage. Each of the 400 boxes requires $10.00 for shipping which also includes a Bible in the language of the country where the box will be shipped and a magazine-size Sunday School book, also in the appropriate language, that contains fourteen lessons to help introduce the children to Jesus. The gifts are wonderful and life-changing because the children learn that someone loves them. On top of that, they learn of Jesus great love for them.

Thank-you for supporting this mission project through your funding, shopping, preparing, and filling shoeboxes! This is a great team project.

But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.

ILLNESS

Mitchell Warren owns a glass and tire shop across from Master Chef in Amite. We saw him and his wife, Jodi, at Master Chef yesterday. Mitchell shared that he has a problem that requires brain surgery, but it is not a regular surgery. It’s gamma knife surgery, which they had never heard of before. David and I quickly told them about the gamma knife surgery I had in 2011 and had prayer with them. I have had no pain or seizures since my surgery. Mitchell’s surgery is Monday of next week, May 22. Please pray for Mitchell and Jodi.

Today’s Prayer Focus

Today, families and churches will focus some time on mothers. Let’s do the same here. Be thankful for the sacrifices mothers make for their children and the love and joy they have because of their children. Thank God for all the things mothers have taught their children and the ambitions they have guided their children to have. Most of all, thank God for mothers who have taught their children about God and His great love and sacrifice for them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

TODAY’S PRAYER FOCUS

Today, let’s pray for children as schools will be closed for the summer.. I know I was so blessed to have had a mother who was at home every day as I grew up. When my children were preschool age, they were with a special lady. “Dees” who came to our home to care for them or with one of their two grandmothers who were just a few miles away.

Some children will be at home with their mother or another family member, in the home of someone who is a friend, in day-care, etc.I was also blessed by being a teacher and having the same holidays as my children. They even rode to school with me and back home with me every day.

Even though family situations are different, children are well cared for there and have many opportunities to learn, interact with other children, travel, etc. during their summer vacations.

Pray for each child as they move into their summer schedule. Pray for those who will be caring for the children. Be sure to add them to you prayer list so you can pray for them all summer.

The Spirit of God has made me;

the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

PRAYER FOCUS TODAY

Today, let’s focus our prayers on those in special care facilities for a long time. I had a grandmother, Jennie, who needed that kind of care for almost as far back as I can remember. She was in Baton Rouge for most of those years because there were no places closer to our family. When closer places opened, she chose to stay where she was because she loved being there and was greatly loved and appreciated by the owners, staff, and patients. (That hard to believe, but true.)

We were unable to see her daily or even weekly, but more like every few weeks. Modern medical care possibly could have enabled the family to have her closer. Thank God for the many options today. Love, pray for, and visit your relatives and friends who are such homes. They get love and attention, but there is no love and attention like that from family members.

Thankfully, my grandmother and many others are able to have great years and experiences there. My grandmother was the unofficial hostess. fill in switchboard operator, ceramic class helper, Avon lady, guide, etc. She loved her beautiful room and home so much. We loved her greatly. I was the oldest of nine grandchildren and have great memories of her in Roseland and Baton Rouge. I’m thankful to say she was able to attend her church there because of some friends she made there.

Please make sure your prayer list contains names of relatives, friends, and church members who live in a long-term care facility.

PRAYER FOCUS: MAY EVENTS/DECISIONS

The days of this month are quickly passing by. Many special school events happen during this month. Ofter, life-changing decisions are made. Pray for students, especially those who are graduating from high school or college. Pray with them as big decisions are made.

SERMON TOPICS and BIBLE PASSAGES

I was able to get a copy of Bro. Darryl’s plans for sharing at church this month. Here’s the information for Sunday, May 14.
