Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

We have been praying for Lynne Buggs as she goes through cancer treatment. I just got a note from her brother Tim Gannon that she is back in the hospital and that the Doctor’s think the cancer has moved to her brain.

Would you please continue to pray for healing for Lynne.

It has been such a blessing to get to know her through emails, she has a wonderful heart for the Lord and HIS people.

Never complaining.

I would like to share with Lynne and her family and with you all about why prayer is so important for all of us………….

This comes from Joan Chittister……….

Spirituality without prayer life is no spirituality at all, and it will not last beyond the first debates. Prayer is an opening of the self so that the Word of God can break in and make us new. Prayer unmasks. Prayer converts. Prayer impels. Prayer sustains us on the way. Pray for the grace it will take to continue what you would like to quit.

Let us not quit seeking the Lord’s will in all of our lives and the will of the Lord for the life of Lynne and her family.

You see, there is something greater than what we see now……….what we do not see is greater than what we do see. That is called eternal life with our Lord.

Prayer sustains us on the way.

May the Peace and strength of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

Just wanted to share a couple of things with you as we worship our Lord this weekend………..

I mourn for the 500,000 plus folks who lost their jobs in the month of Nov. Let us all pray for these folks and their families. Let us stop and pray for them.

Let us not think of ourselves……..

Let us help each other………

Christian humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less, as C.S. Lewis so memorably said.

It is to be no longer always noticing yourself and how you are doing and how you are being treated.

It is “blessed self-forgetfulness.”

Humility is a byproduct of belief in the gospel of Christ. In the gospel, we have a confidence not based on our performance but in the love of God in Christ (Rom. 3:22-24 Please read) This frees us from having to always be looking at ourselves. Our sin was so great, nothing less than the death of Jesus could save us. HE had to die for us. But HIS love for us was so great, JESUS was glad to die for us.

Christ’s Love to you all, Dewey Sharon and family

We have three HUGE PRAISE notes this morning!!!

Your prayers mean so much!!!

First this from Oswald Chambers…….. The time a Christian gives to prayer and communion with God is not meant for his natural life, but to nourish the life of the Son of God in him. God engineers the circumstances of His saints in order that the Spirit may use them as the praying house of the Son of God. If you are spiritual the Holy Spirit is offering up prayers in your bodily temple that you know nothing about, it is the Spirit making intercession in you. Also this……… We are to free from the wonder nowadays, too easy with the Word of God; we do not use it with the breathless amazement Paul does.

Think what sanctification means——Christ in me; made like Christ; as HE is, so are we. I think sometimes we get going like a gerbils in a cage and we need to stop and smell the roses as that old Mac Davis song says, and soak in the amazement of GOD!

Here are our praise notes as we have been praying for Gwen and Tim………Remember Jannetta keeps a diary of all our prayer needs at the web site http://www.deweydailyscup.com/ Do you keep a dairy of all your prayers?

Hi Dewey, Gwen here again. After asking for prayer to move up my appt., I called yesterday and was able to move it closer by 3 weeks, and I called again today, and it was moved up another week. That’s a definite Praise the Lord. Many thanks to all who have been praying for me, especially since we don’t have a church family right now. Keep praying for me that this will be resolved. God bless, Gwen Dewey, What a miracle! Just to share what God does…remember Tim, who was in an induced coma due to brain swelling after a horrific motorcycle accident! Well, praise God and thank HIM dearly as you read this: “Another outstanding day for Tim, they removed his trach and they gave him his helmet. Tim works with his therapist daily, this afternoon when I arrived they put him in the wheel chair and rolled him down to the gym. Tim stood up out of his chair and walked about 10 feet, sat down to rest a minute then stood up and walked back. It was amazing I cried with joy! He did most of it by himself with little support. Way to go Tim soon you will be walking to the gym! ~ Love ya!!!” IT’S A MIRACLE! Love, Karen

It is such a blessing to give to you these two reports…….We have been having many praise reports! Please spread the word about our Prayer Ministry. our THIRD PRAISE NOTE………..Update on niece…she is stable and they hope to take her off the ventilator in the next couple of days. Thanks for the prayers and getting the word out. AWESOME PRAISE GOD!!!!
