Prayer updates: All of our homebound members could use some visits, cards, and encouragements. Most are trying to stay positive and upbeat. How might you encourage?
* LaRue Schmidt is still hanging on in hospice. Please keep her and family in prayer. She was singing Jesus loves me and is ready to leap into His arms. She may have only a few more days before her faith becomes sight.
* Ross Stuart has been placed on hospice for cancer. We had a great visit . He is upbeat and ready to be called home. We discussed his purposes to be fulfilled in the waiting. He wants to encourage all of you to always be ready to follow Jesus whatever the world throws at you and/or God allows. He reminded me of persevering in faith always. Amen! Ross has been given no timeline yet and said he feels pretty good and has no pain at present.
Good Morning Abiding in THE Vine Followers of Jesus! Oh yes! That is or can be us! I am only sharing one devo about abiding and resting in Christ. We've been discussing this important healthy rhythm already some this week. I feel God wants you to practice abiding by opening your Bibles and/or some devos and just be still in His loving presence, listening and receiving. What's He saying to you ? What will you do about it? Jesus is calling you by name to come away and abide in Him for a spell. Let's do this and share what we are sensing with some teammates to process with and pray into and maybe even begin planning something together. God loves you, calls you by name, provides all you need as you go and promises to be with you always. Start there and come as you are and allow Him to transform, empower, equip and direct your steps . Come Jesus come. Fill me up and overflow through me . Thanks! Amen! Shalom shalom=perfect peace is being prayed over you! Receive it as you abide and then thrive!
