Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

It is beginning to look like the groundhog was right for we have been having some very cold weather and I guess we will be looking at having a late spring. We have had a few days with temperatures in the sixties and low seventies, but not very many, and the nights even those days have been in the teens or low twenties. The buttercups continue to brave the weather and I have several blooming and along the roadway I have seen many others blooming.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Wanda Barber, Kenneth Bates, Vickie Bates, Connie Bonner, L.C. Bowen, Dorothy Brown, Teresa Capps, Colby Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, William Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Johnny Dryden, Monica Dupont, Buffy Farnsworth, Wilburn Franks, Connie Lindsey, Labri Kendricks, Lyda Mae Hooper, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Jackie McFall, Bill Moore, Kay Murphy, Norene O’Kelly, Betty Odom, Rodney Odom, Donna Owen, Pam Pullman, Colene Rasbury, John Rawdon, Shirley Reeves, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Russell and Vera Runions, Bill Seiber, Joe Shipp, Nell Skelton, Madelyn Tharp, Jim and Jan Walker, Diane White, Samantha White, Chris Whitehead, 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 Brilynn Gray and Jason Sims the 19th, Frances Gleason and Jean Zimmerman the 20th, Curtis Cagle and Winnie Lawson the 22nd, Ashley Garner and Caleb Odom the 23rd, and Rebecca Gleason and Lisa Carroll the 24th. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more to celebrate life.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones - Elizabeth G. Monroe, Wilma Jean Melton, Kenneth Charles Stone, Hardy Mac Breece, Wendy Leigh Pace, Kenneth Edward Hinson, James Ricky Scott, Ernst Luc Morel, William Jason “Buster” Pinkerton, Lavonne Marie Buster, Johnnie Claudine Morrison, and Garland Young “G.Y.” Bennett. Prayers for all these families and any others that we may not know about.

The Girl Scouts are selling cookies and if you have not gotten any and would like some, please contact any Girl Scout or leader or myself. We appreciate all those who came out on the days we were doing booth sales when it was so cold and windy; the girls did a great job and had good sales. The people of Lewis County are always good to help with our sales events and this helps the troops be able to do the things that they love to do together as a group. There are even some groups that go to Savannah which is the home of the Girl Scout founder.

Praying for you and your family to have a great week and enjoy happiness and health which makes life easier and better for everyone. Remember those who are shut-in and visit if you can or send a card or make a phone call. This always makes them feel better and lets them know that someone cares for them.
