Gordonsburg / Little Swan News

It has rained some and that is always good, but don’t like to be out in it. The temperatures have dropped and are in the low twenties and in some areas probably in the teens. I hope the days are warmer, that always makes people feel better. Sounds like the temperatures will be in the low twenties for the next several days so I guess winter is here to stay for a while.

Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley, Linda Butler, Elizabeth Boggs, Deanne Darden-Carroll, Gertie Carroll, Pam James Carroll, Spencer Clark, Nita Cottrel, Robert and Pat Dickson, Polly Edwards, Paul Gandy, Wayne Holloway, Steve Holloway, Leon Hunter, Jimmy Lee Johnston, Monette King, Lillie Mitchell, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Judy O’Guin, Roger Pace, Debbie Pierce, Bonnie Runions, Harry Runions, Marsha Runions, Vera Runions, Addie Steel, Terry Stutts, Randy Willis, and Annette Williams. Prayers for these and others we may not know of but especially pray for those with cancer.

We wish a happy birthday to Cameron and Casey Tripp, and Lisa Kauffman on the 6th, to Kimberly Collins the 7th, Martha Hensley the 8th, Blake Chappell, Dorothy Warf, and Lee Henderson the 10th, Dana Sims the 11th, and Brogan Barnes the 12th. Wishing for all these and anyone I missed a very happy birthday and many more to celebrate.

Happy anniversary to Doug and Debbie Johnston on December 8th, to Samuel and Dee Warf on the 8th, and to Bobby and Sarah Carroll on the 12th. May these couples enjoy many more happy years together.

Prayers for all those families who lost loved ones this past week, these are the ones I know about

Jerry Lee Spahr, Sandra Mais Moore Casey, Anthony “Tony” Wayne Crews, Oliver Palmer, Curtis Arnold, Michael Ray Madden, Edward Thomas Vonn, David Anthony Weatherspoon, Carolyn Ann King. Prayers for these families and any others about which I may not know.

We are in the last month of this year, and it seems to come faster each year than the one before. As you go through your day take time to remember those who are sick, shut-in or in the hospitals and nursing homes, send a card, make a call, or visit if you can but remember to say a prayer for them.

Wishing you and your family a great week and try to stay warm and remember the animals and make sure their water is not frozen, and they have warm places to sleep.
