I hope all are doing well as we slowly make our way into Spring. Once again I feel nead to ask our prayer warriors to pray for two of our own. Two of our Past National Councilors need your prayers, both are dealing with health issues. Please lift Brother Charles Riehs, up in prayer. He is still on a waiting list for a kidney transplant and recently he has been diagnosed with another issue and has or soon will have surgery on his shoulder. It is serious and he needs your prayers. Please keep Brother Dennis Everett in you prayers, he is still recovering from Covid-19. The virus hit Brother Dennis pretty hard. He does not have to be on oxygen all the time now, which is a blessing..... but he has not recovered his sense of taste or smell which takes all the enjoyment out of eating. So, he has lost a lot of weight. Please pray for Brother Dennis as he strives to regain his strength. Brother Charles and Brother Dennis, please know that you are loved and thought of...and that prayers are being sent up for your continued recovery. God Bless each of you, and his Holy presence be with you each day. Psalms 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. |
