Prayer Request from Martha:
A dear friend of ours is going through so much right now. He has parkisons, a mass in his bladder and now
neuropathy in his feet. They had to cancel for now a trip of a lifetime to Italy. They (Ken and Della) love the Lord.
Last night a group went to their home and anointed Ken with oil and prayed for his total healing. I know God is still in the MIRACLE business. I do pray for God’s will in this and I pray He will receive all the glory.
Please put Ken Croteau on the prayer lists. Martha Lavallet.
Rest well, my Friends,
Kathie

Little Girl of the GRANDS sang (not solo) at church tonight and we were privileged to be there and I was just blessed all over!
I sat there thinking how absolutely wonderful it is to hear pre-schoolers singing praises and quoting Scripture. Scripture tells us faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) Albeit a pre-schooler most likely has not reached a level of maturity to make that eternal decision to follow hard after JESUS but singing those songs and memorizing Scripture gives them an immeasurably valuable foundation whereby they can make that decision when they are older.
What did JESUS say?
Matthew 19: (New King James Version) 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” via Matthew 19:14 – Passage Lookup – New King James Version – BibleGateway.com.
More often than I like, and my preface, of course, is not at all, I have heard foolish, foolish words spoken by adults thinking themselves to be progressive, saying they did not want to influence their children about ‘religion’ but wanted them to be free to make up their own minds about God.
2 Corinthians 4: (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
4 Regarding them: the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
via 2 cor 4:4 – Passage Lookup – Holman Christian Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.
To be sure the children will make up their own minds! How tragic it is though when they don’t have the right information to make that eternal decision!
I’d like to tell parents, you might not want to influence your children about God but a host of perverted beings not only wants to, but will! Please heed the Scriptures for yourselves and your children — their eternity and yours depends on it!
We cannot begin too soon telling the children (even pre-born in the womb) that JESUS loves them; that He is the only begotten Son of God and He wants them to live a good life here on planet earth and then come to live with Him forever in Heaven. Teaching them to sing songs and quote Scripture like I heard tonight is an EXCELLENT way to give them information that will quietly stay with them guiding them to the TRUTH for themselves.
ABBA, thank You, thank You for what I saw and heard tonight at First Baptist of North Mobile. For the singing and quoting done by the children and the expounding of Your Word by Bro. Billy Graham. I praise You LORD for allowing me the privilege of hearing and worshiping You. Thank You, DADDY GOD. Thank You.
Friends, please remember to pray for our Praying For These. In particular the family of Autry King as her memorial service is today (Monday) at 10:00. Continued prayer for Wayne, Cindy, Elaine, Bridgett and family, Jenny, DeLois, Iris P., Melinda, Kerri F., and our IDOK Troops is appreciated.
Read THE WORD,
Kathie
