This morning as usual on Saturdays I went to the Gideon Prayer Breakfast at the Parkway Medical Center.  The usual agenda, Scripture reading today was James chapter 1. Then prayer requests.  One thing I have noted over the past few years is that the older you get, the longer your prayer list gets.  Seems like more of the folks you know need prayer. One of my friends is in the hospital with brain cancer, another broke 3 of his fingers, another has gout in both feet, the list could go on and on... but, we serve a Mighty God and I know he has us all in his hand. So if you are reading this pray for me and my friends. 

I am the Memorial Bible Coordinator in our Gideon camp and am always encouraging folks to send "Thinking of You", In Recognition" or "In Memory" cards provided by the Gideons.  This allows one to send a card and donate some money to the Gideons that is 100% used for purchase and placement of Scriptures.  So visit the Gideon web site http://www.gideons.org if you need a card to send a family member or friend.  Its easy to use just click on the site and select a card, fill in the form with your credit card number and the number of Bibles you want to donate and The Gideons will send the card, you don't even have to spend .37 cents for the stamp.

Now we have Christmas Cards and we encourage all to use them for family and friends. You may order them by clicking on the card image on the page.

 

What better gift to give than that of God’s Word, allowing the recipient the opportunity to also receive eternal life in heaven. There are so many still who do not know where their eternity lies. There are so many still that do not have, and cannot afford, a copy of God’s Word.

Christmas cards are available in packages of 10 for $16 (2 cards of each style). You may order here on the web page by filling your information in below and clicking the Credit Card button or download and complete return the
Adobe Acrobat form by clicking here (PDF 139Kb).

 

Well enough for now, I have a bunch of leaves that need racking; I think it has warmed up enough to allow me to get out now. I'm just putting them in big piles,

 

my grandson Gabe will be back from New York soon and he will bag them up for me. 

 

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?  Check out this awesome card by clicking on the card.

God bless you all and stay warm and safe.

hello! it is nice to see you here. Thanks for joining. Our last church had a very active Gideons group and it was really interesting and encouraging to hear about the work they did.

So nice to have you blogging here Mr. Andy! What a wonderful ministry you are a part of with the Gideons. I know that you must be thrilled to have your family home for awhile from Romania.
God Bless,
Gayle :)

I don't know if putting those leaves by the slide was such a good idea. Looks to tempting to go down the slide and fall into all those leaves!! ; )

Hi Andy!

I met your daughter, Karen, here and am thrilled you have joined the world of blogging. I am sure that Karen has warned you how addicting it can be. My only regret is that there are too many wonderful bloggers here for me to be able to appreciate.

We have much respect for the Gideons, and I am grateful that you posted the link to purchase their Christmas cards. What an excellent idea!

And let me say this, even though I am almost 2 weeks late - thank you for your faithful service to our country in the USN! May God bless you now and in the years to come!

Have a very blessed Thanksgiving! In Christ ~ Patricia
