Dottie Had A Rough Night

Pastor Carlos´s daughter Michelle. Her wedding.

Dottie had the absolute worst night and could not move at all as her arms and legs were filled with pain. Please continue to pray because that is the only medicine. She could not go to church which she loves to do. Adela had to stay with her during the preaching.

Esvin translated for me.

We had a Guatemalan church come over the weekend and they had Bible classes and then a water fight. The weather was so cold and I shuddered just watching. But it is wonderful how many churches send groups to minister spiritually to our children as well as play with them. The children can feel the love of God in these experiences.

Sunday was parent visitation, so they were in the church service. It is such an opportunity to preach the Word to the parents. We have seen salvations a few times but also, they have the Word placed into the hearts. That is something that you can never escape so I expect it will become alive in them in the future.

My geriatric physician had a face call with me & he changed some of my medication as I just have not felt good lately. I am sure it is stress related.

I want to continue with Jesus is the GOOD SHEPHERD as found in John 10:1-16 Jesus knows His sheep; He guides them by showing the way (John 10:3-4). He does not drive His sheep;  He is the door of the sheepfold that offers shelter and safety for His sheep. (John 10:9).  Unlike hired shepherds, He is willing to put His own life on the line for His sheep. (John 10:11-12). He loves His sheep. (John 10:13-15). Other names of God the Son as Shepherd are I Peter 5:4 (Chief Shepherd.)  Door of the sheep. (John 10:7) Great Shepherd of the sheep. (Hebrews 13:20). And Shepherd of your souls. (I Peter 2:25)
