Now choose life,

Now is the time to buy school supplies.  They are on sale now.  You can purchase fifty (50) spiral notebooks for less than $10.00.  We also need markers, crayons, glue sticks, pencil sharpeners, pencil boxes, etc.  Bring your items to my Sunday School classroom.  Thanks so much.  One day, we may be reading a Samaritan’s Purse story about a child who came to know the Lord because of the pretty markers packed in Kentwood, LA.

Thursday

 “Enter through the narrow gate.

For wide is the gate

and broad is the road that leads to destruction,

and many enter through it.  

But small is the gate

and narrow the road that leads to life,

and only a few find it.

~Matthew 7:13-14, NIV~

David and I have had three appointment on three different days this week.  The good news is that David’s eyes are healed enough to have glasses for his right eye and a contact for his left eye.  We also have an appointment on the 25th to see a cornea specialist concerning the next surgery.  Please continue to pray for David and his vision.  The good news is that I had a good report on my vision despite watching for some hereditary problems.
