Norma,
Thanks so much for the Praise report! It is good to praise God for all that He has done, all that He is doing, and all that He is about to do!
Psalms 34.1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (KJV)
Psalms 35.18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. (KJV)
Psalms 44.8 In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! (AMP)
Psalms 150.1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Psalms 150.2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Psalms 150.3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Psalms 150.4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Psalms 150.5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Psalms 150.6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
Psalm 40:3 is the result of His people praising Him!
Psalms 40.3 And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. (AMP)
It is good to give thanks and to praise God!
I am sure that there are others out there that have experience or knowledge of establishing a care group, and they WILL NOT be shy about lending a helping hand or keyboard as the case maybe.
Now the secret to a list or group is that we all contribute, not just one or two. This group will only be as successful as the group wishes it to be - nothing more or less.
You just might have that one piece of the puzzle that someone else out there needs.
Thanks again Norma for posting!
Roger

Hi Roger,It was good to see some activity...I thought I would respond even though I don't have alot to add. My Praise report is that our church just approved a $900 budget for 2008 for our health ministry. I expected alot less in view of the decreased budget receipts for 2007. Our community in North Alabama has been hit with alot of layoffs and decreased incomes. I do Praise God for allowing me to do this ministry. It was really an answer to my prayers. Our health ministry started a couple of years ago.Right now, I am learning first hand about caregiving. My 83 year old Mom fell during the holidays, and I have had to back off on some plans that I had made for January. We have alot of caregivers in our church. I want to start a support group for them as soon as time allows and I can get a leader for it. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.Thanks so much Roger for leading this group. God Bless!

Subject: [ParishNurse] Hello out there!Hellooooooo out there in cyberspace!! ! Is anyone there...????
Well, I hope that everyone has had some awesome holidays! I hope
those that wanted a white Christmas got one. After 20 years down with
Palm trees, I still have not gotten used to a green, warm Christmas!
oh well!
I have also noted that there has been no activity for some time.
Doesn't anyone have something to offer??
What are people reading?
