Thank You Supporters! Let's work together!

I have been a little slow to post and I apologize for that.  I have had some problems with my health (my diabetes problem has reared its ugly head) and I have had some problems in getting in to see a endocrinologist which my regular doctor is wanting me to do, so I have been a little tired and not feeling as well as usual.  I am working on it and with help from God and prayers from all my friends I am sure I will be better soon.  
We are moving forward with our pantry efforts and helping those who contact us with a need for food.  We have helped several new people over the last month and hope that our efforts are doing what Christ commanded when he said "Feed My Sheep" .  We have had some disappointments but feel in those instances we have planted a seed which someday will grow and bring those folks to Christ.  The people of the Southern Hills Congregation are so wonderfully supportive and I so very much appreciate their good hearts and desire to help.  
I received a box of salt recently which inducted me into the Salt of The Earth Fan Club.  I can't even begin to tell you how much this meant to me.  When called to the front of the auditorium I was shocked beyond belief.  I could not help but think how I wished Mom (Dorothy Smith) and Dad (Charlie Smith, Jr., who was a former elder at Southern Hills) could have been there.  I spent time away from God and I know it worried them.  I hope somehow they know I have returned and am trying to serve anyway possible that will help others and please God.   I am attaching pictures of my Box of Salt.  I hope you enjoy looking.  Please pray for me to continue my work.


This weekend beginning with Thursday, March 29th is out annual Carson Shadrix  Medical Fund Garage Sale, we begin set up on Thursday but have lots of sales that day as people are anxious to see what we have.  It will run thru Friday at approximately 1:00 pm.  This is the largest garage sale in this area and people look forward to our holding it.  I will be posting more about the sale over the next few days so if you can come, please do.  It is held on the grounds of the Southern Hills Church of Christ at 9080 Southwood Drive, Shreveport, LA., 71118.  If you are interested in knowing more about Carson go to Facebook and search for Carson's Dream.
