Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

The past few days have been cooler, especially at night, and the humidity has been lower which makes it feels not as hot even though it has been in the eighties during the days. I have not had as many hummingbirds. I wonder if they have already left or are just using the flowers which are blooming around the area, even the wild honeysuckles are blooming around the area.

Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need: William Barber, David and Joyce Barnes, G. Y. Bennett, Connie Bonner, Barbara Brown, Dorothy Brown, Amy Carroll, Betty Carroll, Dorothy Carroll, Joann Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Pam Carroll, Ronnie Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Billy Cothran, Terrell Crews, Marian Dryden, Monica Dupont, Rusty Dupont, Polly Edwards, Geneva Grover, Helen Hardin, Myrtle Harvey, Melody Hensley, Christy Hinson, Beverly Holloway, Mickey James, Monette King, Linda Mercer, Wendy McKnight, Donna Owen, Coleen Rasbury, Mona Runions, Tommy Shaw, Nell Skelton, Dustin Stutts, Nancy Taylor, Tommy Taylor, Annette Williams, Doug Williams, Margie Willis, and Lola Wilson. Please remember these in your daily prayers along with others you know that are sick or shut-in.

Happy birthday to Brennan Holt the 11th, Danny Holt, Judy Crowell, and Jeff Tanner the 12th, Bill Seiber the 15th, MaKenzi Creasy, Cathey Roberson, and Grey Cotham the 16th, and to Cash Creasy and Danielle Haygood the 17th. Wishing these many more happy days to celebrate life and hope they have a great birthday.

Happy anniversary to Darren and Amy Henderson the 11th, to Wylie and Betty Carroll and William and Helen McCann the 13th, and Robbie and Dana Carroll the 17th. We wish for these couples many more years to celebrate life together.

We express sympathy to the families of Earnest Bufford Malugin Jr., Deborah Gaye Fitts, Estelle Elizabeth Wade, Jacqueline Doraine Claud, Don Andrews Shackleford, Opal Davis Warren, Sallie Deaton, Artie Odell Collins, Randy Lee Shatto Jr., Curtis Howard White Jr., and Richard James Delaney Jr. Prayers for these families and any other families who have lost loved ones.

The season of Southern Fall is coming soon. It is beginning to look like it with all the colors of the tree leaves and the many other things that signal the coming of a new season to the area. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to be out and observe some of the signs of the season as you travel around the area. It is a beautiful time of year with all the natural colors that present themselves to be seen.

Praying you have a wonderful week and are healthy and that happiness is in your life. There is so much sickness and many people who cannot be out to enjoy the world that God has created for us to enjoy. Please take time to pray for and call or send cards to those who are shut-in or sick at home and can’t have visitors for one reason or another. Sometimes I wonder if those people confined in nursing and rehab centers feel that they have been abandoned because they cannot have visitors.

Hopefully you had a great holiday weekend and took some time to relax and enjoy your family and friends and do the things that you enjoy doing.
