Hello Friends
Well it’s only nine days until Mason’s surgery. I have had moments of fear about the surgery, quickly brought it before God and it dissipated. (wouldn’t it be great if I did that in all areas of my life, all the time!!!!)
Couple of things happening on the 26th of September, the day before surgery, the first is the MRI in the afternoon.
A very important event in the evening. We will be bringing Mason to the church to the Monday night Pray First Team to be prayed over by the elders and pastors. Others will also be there, including family and friends. If you would like to join us, that would be great! If possible, let me know so I can let them know in advance of how many will come. We are currently planning to be there right at 7 pm.
Ephesians 3:20, 21 has been popping into my head a lot lately:


NIV
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen
Amplified Version:
20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--
21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).


Bye for now!!
Love & Thanks Shirley
Ps. I don’t mind if you forward this onto others. There can’t be too many people praying for this boy!! There are also some people on my list that the e-mails, for some reason, won’t go through. So if you get this as a forward that’s great!
