Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

Although the weather has been good for the most part, there have been some nights in the low thirties. Many of the days have been in the upper sixties and even in the seventies a few days. We had a wonderful weekend after the rains the later part of last week. The birds are really singing and busy building nests and I love to hear the doves coo when I am outside. I feed them on the ground because they won’t get on the feeders, don’t know why.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Terry Anderson, Connie Bonner, L.C. Bowen, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Buffy Farnsworth, Wilburn Franks, Connie Lindsey, Labri Kendricks, Lyda Mae Hooper, Shirley Howe, Florine Johnston, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Greg McCann, Mike McCann, Jackie McFall, Norene O’Kelly, Betty Odom, Donna Owen, Pam Pullman, Colene Rasbury, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Bill Seiber, Roy Sharp (taking treatments at the Sarah Cannon facility), Joe Shipp, Nell Skelton, 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 late birthday Dennis King and Darrell Runions on March 19th, Amber Rahman the 20th, Kane Crowell the 21st, Fay Gordon the 22nd; happy birthday to Blayr Clayton, and Brandon Carroll the 23rd, Rylee Roberson the 24th, Kaitlynn Tripp the 25th, Elvis Hammack the 27th, Raymond Runions the 29th, Ian Carroll and Brooklynn Carroll the 30th and Ricky Akridge the 31st. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more to celebrate life.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones Eva Jo Parrish Pollard, Charles Terry Quillen, Jeffrey Wayne Castile, Forrest “Sonny” “Frosty” Seiber, Debra Gulley Mercer, Ronald Lee Loveless, Cora Elizabeth Ward, Robert Jerome Cline, Christopher “Chris” Dale Johnston, Judy Faye Mobley Burns, Anthony (Tony) Mitchel Weems, Janice Kay Warren, Joshua Aaron Brown, and Kenny Darrell Clark. Prayers for all these families and any others that we may not know about.

There have been many out and working on yards and gardens this past week and weekend as the weather has been really nice for the most part. It is time to clean yards to get ready to mow and clean up around the houses and yards.

Let us remember to pray for those people in the Ukraine where there is so much suffering and people being displaced from their homes because of the fighting. Remember that this could happen to our country so be caring and say a special prayer for them. Many wives and children are being sent to safety and their husbands and fathers are staying to fight and protect their homes and life.

The children will enjoy a week of spring break next week so many will be doing special things and maybe even traveling to other places to visit or enjoy a week of vacation. Many of the children are playing ball and other sports as the spring begins and moves on toward summer. Some are even anxious to go to the creeks around the area, but the water will not warm up until the nights get to be warmer. Be careful as you travel around the area for sometimes children forget to watch the roads when going from on place to another.

Praying for you and your family to have a great week and enjoy the many beautiful shrubs and trees that are beginning to bloom around the area. I love this sign of spring and warmer weather. Of course when it gets hot we will probably complain about the heat as we have the cold this winter.
