Devotion 11/22/2012

Today’s Devotion

 

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving,

Psalm 100 says it best:
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
(NIV).

Remember all His blessing today and every day.  Amen

In His service,
Fran

 



Continued Prayer for TJ

 

Don’t want to bother you on this joyful day, so tomorrow is fine  J

 

Continued prayer for TJ (I sent request a few weeks ago) -  He was due to start chemo this week (Stage 4 Melanoma) but they found an abscess on his colon which throws all the course of treatment off.  This family is really struggling with all the decisions and conflicts that keep arising.  TJ and his wife had a baby 3 months ago (the same day he found out about his diagnosis), so they are very overwhelmed.  Prayer for the doctors to find the right treatment and for this young family with so many decisions to make.

 

THANK YOU FRAN
