Friday Familly Prayer Call

Our Family has a Prayer Call Every Friday, and this Friday, October 1, 2010 was a little different. The Kids lead us and I ended in a prayer! Jayden , my dad's grand-nephew read and My Daughter Sang There's Hope by India Arie! SO Great! Here is what Jayden Read/Wrote for Our Prayer Call. See Below after our Fundraiser Announcement.

This week Starting October 4th, we will be hosting a fundraiser on Facebook for my dad.
Donate a $1.00 (or more) and Share. We are asking that you donate a dollar and share it on your page with others so they too can donate a dollar. We are currently looking to get my dad, a excellent bed and high chair. With your help we can make this happen. We are also trying to get in contact with Veterans Affairs to see if they can help us with paying for physical Therapist.

WHEN I AM SICK, I SMILE!

Doctors and scientists have found out that a person who is sick but
laughs and smiles a lot will get better faster than they would if they were
sad and didn’t laugh. Proverbs 17:22 tells us this fact. God loves us more
than we can imagine and that gives us the peace to be able to smile and
laugh even when we are sick.
People with broken spirits feel like giving up. They are sad and don’t
laugh or smile. The Bible says that this attitude will dry them up. They
are like apples left in the sun all day – they will shrivel up and shrink
down to a wrinkled mess. But if we trust God and remind ourselves of
how much He loves us, then we can be happy in that.
It’s never fun to be sick but the great news is that we do not have to stay
sick! Many people in Jesus’ time were sick. One woman was bleeding
for 12 years and couldn’t make it stop. An older man was never able to
walk. Other people had the terrible disease of leprosy for which no
medicine could cure. Still others could not see and some could not hear.
In every case when these people trusted in God and believe HE would
heal them, they were healed.
The next time you are sick, you should think of my Uncle Rudy. Instead
of focusing on how bad he feels, he thinks about how much God loves
him and knows that God has the power to heal. And before you know it,
Uncle Rudy is smiling and feeling better.
Wanna read more about it: Proverbs 15:30 offers this gem to live by: a
cheerful look brings joy and good news brings health.
Jayden’s Tip: I know that God loves me. So, I’m going to have a cheerful
heart!
