Monday

   “Command those who are rich in this present age

not to be haughty,

nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God,

who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 

Let them do good,

that they be rich in good works,

ready to give,

willing to share,

storing up for themselves a good foundation

for the time to come,

that they may lay hold on eternal life.”

~I Timothy 6:17-19~

 

Betty Taylor

Betty’s surgery Thursday was on her knee, not her eye.  I was confused because her eye appointments are always on Thursdays.  Let’s pray for her knee and her eye problems.

…. those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

Jadon’s Journey

Jadon’s walkaide appointment went better than expected yesterday. We were able to get his foot to move in the direction we wanted it to move. He was nervous at first but with some help from his brother he put it on. He then thought it was hilarious that it was making his foot move. We go for our 2nd appointment July 7 to see if he can walk using it. We also have an appointment for the bioness device July 12. We will compare the 2 and see what works best for him.

Friday

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you,

then choose for yourselves this day

whom you will serve,

whether the gods your forefathers served

beyond the River, o

r 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~

Nathan Daniels

Please continue to pray for Nathan this week as he deals with the aftereffects of his surgery.  I know he and his family will appreciate your prayers.

James Rimes

James is now back at home.  He and his family are also very appreciative of your prayers.

VBS Continues

This must be a very special time for children of our area as many of them attend another VBS.  Neither I or my children ever did this, but I know many children who do.  The best part is that a number of churches are reporting record breaking attendance!  Attendance is necessary for young lives to be changed through VBS.  Some area churches have not had their VBS yet, but will in the next month.  If you have children or grandchildren, “keep your ears open”!

Ladies’ Night – The highlight of our “F.R.O.G.” meeting last night was the testimonies shared and the special music by Bubba Roberts.  We now have a new acrostic:

A – At

T – Trying

T – To

F – Fully

R – Rely

O – On

G – God

None of us are 100% yet, so let’s keep striving to F.R.O.G.

“So get rid of your old self,

the old self that was being destroyed

by its deceitful desires.

Your hearts and minds must be made completely new,

which is created in God’s likeness

and reveals itself in the true life

that is upright and holy.”
