Thankfulness: Day 11
Today, I’m thankful I was born in America, a country that has a history of setting a high standard for others and a nation established on God’s Word. I’m also thankful for those who have served in our military to protect our country and to help provide peace throughout the world. May God bless America!
“He is faithful in all he does.”
Psalm 33:4 (NIV)

Please pray for the Kentwood families whose lives have been forever changed.
Please pray for Rev. Mike Shumock pastor of East Fork Baptist Church, and others from the Northshore who are working with Disaster Relief in an area destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
They are in Staten Island. He said it is dark, there is no power there. Please continue to pray for them all as they do the Lords work in a desperate land. Thank you all!
Patsy Beneield, sister of Jesse Dean, is doing better. She’s still at North Oaks, but the family hopes to get her home Monday. The family thanks you for praying.
Bobby Lawson is still at Veteran’s Hospital in Jackson, MS. He needs our prayers as he is learning about his problem and how it will be treated. Please pray for his family too.
“I sought the Lord,
and He heard me.”
Psalm 34:4a
Renee Deck is in a lot of pain, but still hoping to come home today.

Thankfulness: Day 10
Today, I’m thankful for the education I received. Most of my elementary years I had older ladies teaching me. They did not have all the “bells and whistles”, but they knew what we needed to learn and worked every day to teach us. I do not remember anyone who only taught school “half-heartedly”! I learned the same from my high school and college teachers.
As a teacher, I tried to be equal to or better than my teachers. I worked hard and expected my students to do the same. I was always taught you get out of something what you put into in. I tried to pass that philosophy on. Hopefully, it worked!

Thankfulness: Day 9
Today, I’m thankful for friends – childhood friends, co-workers, former teachers, former students, church friends, neighborhood friends, etc. Each of you have a special place in my heart. You help to make me who I am and are there for me when I “need a friend”. I hope I have been as good of a friend to you as you have been to me.

Renee Deck did well with her surgery this morning. She expects to be home Saturday and at church Sunday. Pray for an easy recovery from knee surgery.
I hope you have been working on your Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. If not, it is not too late to start.
From Frances Gay
Charles Houeye is in North Oaks since last week sometime. After a spinal tap they discovered that he has meningitis, possibly from a steroid injection given last month. He has been talking out of his head for over a week. Bea was really upset when he didn’t even know who she was. Please put him on the prayer list and his family.
