Need your prayers

I am sorry it has been a few days since I have informed everyone on mom's condition. On Friday we moved mom back to the Piggott hospital. Mom requested we take her home (Piggott Hosp) There was nothing more they could do in Jonesboro that they couldn't do for her in Piggott. Since moving her she has had so many visitors and she has loved it. Today is Sunday and her condition is critical. Only God knows when she will leave this earth but she is very weak and on lots of medication. All of my family has been with her today and she has been loved on by all the grand kids, family and friends. Nothing can really prepare you for the loss of a mother but knowing that she is saved gives us Hope. Today at church I sang her favorite song "The Midnight Cry". We recorded it and took it to the hospital for her to hear. As soon as she heard what song it was she lifted her hands to the sky and began to worship the Lord, it was almost more than I could handle. I just thank God that my mom is born again and will be given a brand new body real soon. Keep us in your prayers.

Update on Mom

Mom rested well last night. All of my brothers along with my dad and my youngest son Ethan spent the night with Mom. Dr. says that her heart may be contributing some to her shortness of breathe but mostly her lungs are just in really bad shape. We have continued to have several visits and calls which makes moments like this tolerable. Mom has been blessed to have her dearest friends by her side. As weak as she is her face always lights up when someone who loves her walks in the room. Last night I had the opportunity to spend about 5 hours taking care of her and I can only hope that it made her feel as good as it made me. Mom has loved her family all her life and she's just getting a little of it back in return. Please pray for us as we take each day one at a time.

In need of your prayers

Well I am in the waiting room of the hospital again only this time my mother is the patient. Mom was airlifted to St. Bernards Hosp. this morning and she is really struggling to breathe the Dr. told us that she has severe COPD disease. It has been a very emotional morning and afternoon but we have gotten lots of calls, visits and emails and they have all been very encouraging. It is so wonderful to be the pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church and I want everyone to know how proud I am to be your pastor. Thank you for all of the love and support that we have felt not only today but over the last several weeks. Please continue to pray for our family.
