We had some winter weather this past week with the temperatures dipping into the low twenties during the night and with the moon and stars being so bright it has brought frost that looks like a light layer of snow. One morning it was frozen on the trees, bushes and weeds so that when the sun shined on it there appeared a wondrous sight, for it looked like millions of diamonds shinning. It was a beautiful sight.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: G.Y. Bennett, Connie Bonner, Dorothy Brown, Amy Carroll, Joann Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Louie Chapin, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Monica Dupont, Johnny Dryden, Buffy Farnsworth, Wilburn Franks, Callie Garrison, Labri Kendrick, Faye Holt, Lyda Mae Hooper, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Jackie McFall, Bill Moore, Donna Owen, Colene Rasbury, Shirley Reeves, Jerry Runions, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Bill Seiber, Joe Shipp, Nell Skelton, Terry and Tammy Stutts, Madelyn Tharp, Jim and Jan Walker, Diane White, and Annette Williams. Please pray for these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

We wish a happy birthday to Blake Kauffmann the 26th, Kendall Bates and Wesley Haigh the 27th, Chase Odom, Robert Pierce and Joe Bates the 29th, Brody Clayton and Greg Herring the 30th, Michael Walker and Tony Watkins December 1st, and Johnny Bennett, Kenneth Carroll and Holly Graves the 2nd. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more to celebrate life.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones - Samuel John Berry, Elliott Lee Burnson Jr., Tootie “Helen” H. Haskins, William Stanley Stinson, Raymond Edward Stoltz, and Helen Irene Harden. Prayers for all these families and any others that we may not know about.

Wishing for you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving and let us all remember to be thankful for all we have and are blessed with in this land. We have a lot of issues currently in our nation but there are so many other nations which have so many more trials and problems than we do. Remember to spend time with your family if possible because one day they will be gone, or you will be, and then all the memories that you could possibly make will be gone also.

As we enter the last month of this year, let us pray for peace in our nation and health for all those who suffer from ailments in the flesh as well as those troubled in mind. I pray for you and your family peace and good health.

I believe winter is here. The temperatures have been in the low twenties at night and only in the fifties or low sixties during the day. I guess when this is the last week of November, and will be December by the time it ends, it is time to have winter weather. Maybe it won’t be so rough and not too much snow.

Bennett, Connie Bonner, Dorothy Brown, Amy Carroll, Joann Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Louie Chapin, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Monica Dupont, Johnny Dryden, Buffy Farnsworth, Wilburn Franks, Callie Garrison, Labri Kendrick, Faye Holt, Lyda Mae Hooper, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Jackie McFall, Bill Moore, Donna Owen, Colene Rasbury, Shirley Reeves, Jerry Runions, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Bill Seiber, Joe Shipp, Nell Skelton, Madelyn Tharp, Jim and Jan Walker, Diane White, Annette Williams and Selina Young. Please pray for these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.
