Thursday

“LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;

You will strengthen their hearts.

You will listen carefully.”

~Psalm 10:17~

Pray for the world situation, especially our country.  Pray for politicians, voters, old, young, black, while, rich, poor, Christians, and unchristians.  Pray God will use all to make a better world for us all and to bring those who don’t know the Lord to sit at his table.

Pray for victims to man-made and natural disasters.  May we all do our best to keep ourselves and others stay safe.  Especially pray for the people of Texas who have faced the latest natural disaster.  May our disaster relief people be there to help them with meals, clean clothes, rebuilding, but mainly with their spiritual needs.

Mrs. Seymour, mother of two of my former students, Karen Joanne, and Becky, passed away last night.  Many of you may remember her as co-owner of a store of highway 16 between I-55 and highway 51.

I went to bed last night praying for the Jones family.  Read the latest posts and hear the heart of Gavin Jones.  Pray for peace for his thoughts and energy to face each day.

As I ponder the good medical report I received Tuesday, I know all medical reports are not so positive.  Pray for each person visiting a doctor, because we never know when they might get a negative report.  Pray for those who will face that situation today.  Pray they will allow God to prepare their hearts for the near future and for eternity.  People in these situations are often very open to hearing God’s Word through us.  Take time to visit, call, pray, share a Scripture, etc. to help make their day a little lighter and their eternity much brighter.

 “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple,

truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward”

~Matthew 10:42, ESV~

 

Pray for Carol New as she goes back to the doctor today.  Things haven’t been working smoothly for her.  Let’s pray today is a good day for her.

Jones Family – Think of the activities surrounding taking care of a baby.  Multiply that by five.  Add some extra physical needs for the babies and an older brother.  That describes the Jones’ household.

Coach Shaw is dealing with a pulled muscle.  Let’s pray he recovers quickly.

Thanks for taking time to care for someone else today.

Monday

Tuesday, I will be having a MRI and seeing a neurologist at Ochsner in New Orleans.  This is a check-up on my brain tumor which was addressed with gamma knife surgery a year and a half ago.  I look forward to seeing how much more my brain tumor has shrunk since I was there a year ago for my last check-up.  I know I don’t hurt like I did for years before I had the surgery!  Join me in expecting a good report tomorrow.  Thank God for doctors who have skills and technology to treat medical issues in ways that were not possible in the past.

Thursday, we will have our monthly gathering at the cabin.  Join us at 6:30.  Our last meeting was one of the greatest worship services which I have been blessed to attend.  Don’t miss the blessing waiting for you Thursday!  It’s easy to mark your calendar for the “Third Thursday” each month.  That way you don’t forget when we meet.

Friday

I unplugged the computer early this morning when the weather go bad.  I know the weather was bad in the whole area, so you can understand why I did that.  Be alert to the weather conditions today and tomorrow.

They were “praising God and having favor with all the people.

And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.”

~Acts 2:47, HCSB~

Chuck Pullium continues to do very well following his knee surgery.  Please continue to pray for him.

Amber Prine Ragan is back at MD Anderson to get a report on her brain tumor biopsy and to meet with an oncologist if that is the next step for her.  Please continue to pray for this young mother and the whole family.

Missions – From Boyd’s facebook page

“During my visit to Kladno, I met a number of new families. Petr told me he lived in England for about six months. He knew a little English and even visited an Evangelical church. When we played a Christian CD on the speaker system, his wife Paula, knew the words and was singing. I asked Petr if he liked going to church. His response, “We need to start a church right here.” Not a bad idea… Amazing, how the Lord works!”

Kladno (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkladno]) is a city in the Central Bohemian Region (Středočeský kraj) of the Czech Republic. It is located 25 km northwest of Prague. Kladno is the largest city of the region and holds a population together with its adjacent suburban areas of more than 110,000 people (70,000 in Kladno proper). The city is part of the Prague metropolitan area.

Missions (From Compassion Net of IMB)

TAJIKS OF TAJIKISTAN – An IMB worker writes, “We recently completed a translation of the movie ‘The Gospel of John’ in Tajik. This is a direct presentation of the Gospel of John into Tajik in movie form. This could be huge in reaching people here! Please pray for us to be bold and intentional in giving out DVDs, and pray for people to have open hearts to hear and understand Truth.”

Thanks so much for praying.  I’m sorry you cannot hear all the comments I receive thanking us for praying.  That doesn’t matter though.  You already know the importance of prayer!
