John 14:27
Thank you my dear Alta Woods family for all your prayers, get well cards, calls, and texts. I am encouraged by your concern.
The doctor predicts 6 weeks to return to some sense of normalcy. I hope he means that the pain will be gone by then. Maybe the Lord has a different time table. The Lord has watched over me all my life and He will watch over me through this too. I am now (11/28) three weeks from the heart bypass surgery and making good progress. It is still hard but God is faithful and He will see me through this. Nell Rose is caring for me as she would a new born. I do appreciate all your prayers.
God reminded me of an old chorus last night. The Lord is good, tell it wherever you go. The Lord is good, tell it that others may know. Tell of his blessings and tell of his love; tell how he’s coming from heaven above. The Lord is good, tell it wherever you go.
He knows what we are doing and even knows our words before we speak them, and our very thoughts. And the closer we draw to Him, the closer He will draw to us. James 4:8.
He’s given Nell Rose and me a peace that passes all understanding. Philippians 4.
The church is considering having another First Aid/CPR training class. If you are interested, please sign up in the church office. Must have 8 for the class to be offered. Date and Time to be determined by those participating.
The Rosenberg Report on TBN is worth watching each week on Thursday nights. He is a Christian Jew who has great insights into current events that concern Christians and Jews. He is an author of a series of wonderful novels that incorporate scripture and current events. You would enjoy reading his books.
Looking ahead in Missions
My thanks to all of you who wanted to participate in Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse Shoebox Ministry (Operation Christmas Child). They are hand delivered to children all over the world. When they receive the shoebox they will also hear how Jesus died for their sin.
- December is our month to give to support our Southern Baptist Missionaries overseas. Our SBC Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International missions is right around the corner. The Week of Prayer for International Missions is Sunday November 27 - December 4. The emphasis will continue on throughout December.
I am so blessed to have Mark Kirby taking care of Wednesday prayer meetings for me. Thank you Mark.
