Gordonsburg/ Little Swan News

Beginning a new month and the weather has been really cold land lots of rain and even some black ice last Friday morning but it soon cleared up and was just a very cold day. The children were out of school for the day and I know they enjoyed that. The nights for the most part have been in the teens and some days not above thirty, but the weekend was better with temperatures in the lower fifties; that is not really warm but lots better than in the thirties. If you are out in the early morning it looks pretty because the frost freezes on the trees, weeds and bushes making it shine like stars.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Wanda Barber, Vickie Bates, G.Y. Bennett, Connie Bonner, L C Bowen, Dorothy Brown, Teresa Capps, Colby Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Landree Carroll, William Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Johnny Dryden, Monica Dupont, Buffy Farnsworth, Wilburn Franks, Callie Garrison, Connie Lindsey, Labri Kendricks, Lyda Mae Hooper, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Jackie McFall, Bill Moore, Norene O’Kelly, Rodney Odom, Donna Owen, Pam Pullman, Colene Rasbury, John Rawdon, Shirley Reeves, Ricky Risner, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Russell and Vera Runions have had the flu, Bill Seiber, Joe Ship, Nell Skelton, Madlyn Tharp, Jim and Jan Walker, Diane White, Samantha White, Chris Whitehead, and Annette Williams.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones Barry Joe Cook King, Connie Lindsey, Nancy Jean Marsh Beckelheimer, “Porky” Allen Wayne Dye, Gemmia Nell Butcher Dudley, Jerry Dennis Whitchard, Gregory Kent Spotzi, Elizabeth Doris Wood, Alma Jean (Knight) Skelt6on, John Timothy “Tim” Baker, Gerald “Jerry” Franklin Green, Carrie Lee Mobley, and George Robert Kirk Jr. Prayers for all these families and any others that we may not know about.

I for one am ready for the warmer days of spring and also warmer nights, this cold weather is not for the older and those who have problems getting around. I think it would be nice to have some warmer evening so that the children could enjoy bonfires and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. I guess we will take what we get for if we could have what we want someone else would want something different and we would have a mixed-up mess for weather.

Prayers for you and your family and hope you have good days blessed with happiness and health. Remember to pray for those who are confined to their homes or nursing facilities if you can’t visit then send a card or make a phone call to them. When you are home alone for any reason it gets lonely, and some kind acts makes the days more bearable and also lets you know someone cares for you.
