A Thankful Heart

Well friends, Thanksgiving Day is later this week.  I know that is probably not a newsflash to you, but I thought I would mention it in case you jumped right into Christmas preparations...after all, there are about five days less of shopping and Wall Street needs for you to pay attention.

As usual, the television, radio, newspaper advertisements are coming at us in all directions, and if that is not enough, chances are that you will be receiving phone calls from marketing agencies to buy products. Christmas decorations will increasingly appear around you and before long Frosty the Snowman will start playing on the radio.

With all that in mind, I would like to encourage you to slow down and realize that this week should be set aside to remember our blessings and pray for God's intervention in our lives.  To spend time with friends and families and enjoy the blessings of good food and fellowship.

I trust you will find much to be thankful for and that you will remember the greatest blessing of all...God loves you so much that He can't take His eyes off you.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
