🙏🏽 PRAISE REPORT FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON 🙌🏽

Sunday morning, I received a call from a worried mother—desperate to bring her only son home for the holidays. He had been living on the streets, but she had an application and a job waiting for him. We prayed, and I had faith in God’s ability to answer, so I promised to do my best.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” — James 5:16

Just one day earlier, during Synergy Saturday—over coffee and through patient navigation—I encouraged her son to consider returning home. I offered him my phone to call his mother, and he did. In that moment, I watched life return to his countenance and hope rise in his broken heart.

“A bruised reed shall He not break, and a smoking flax shall He not quench.” — Isaiah 42:3

I promised his mother I would search the streets for her son. So I hydrated, dressed for the elements, and went looking. After three hours with no success, I encountered one of his unhoused friends—the last person seen with him. We talked for a while, and I asked for his help. He obliged.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9

After another 30 minutes of searching without success, I compensated him for his time with a blessing for his empty pockets and offered him a ride to get some coffee to warm his shivering body. His choices were Circle K and McDonald's. I advised him that “Mickey D’s” was a closer walk back to his spot. He agreed. We said our goodbyes, and I asked him to share his friend’s mother’s wish that he come home.

As I drove off, I felt the slightest urge to glance back over my shoulder.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

Lo and behold, unbeknownst to me, there, standing in McDonald’s doorway, stood our person of interest. So there they were—running in the parking lot of McDonald’s—both of them—arms flailing, waving me back like a rescue plane signaling for landing. I joyfully turned around to fulfill a mother’s prayer, promise, and wish.

The son shared that he had just prayed to God for a way home.

“Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” — Isaiah 65:24

On the journey home, he spoke with his anxious, joy-filled, and praising mother—rejoicing as her prodigal son was returning.

“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” — Luke 15:24

His friend was safely returned to his spot, encouraged with hope, prayer, and the promises of God.

And I received my blessing too—because God answered my prayers, guided my steps, and allowed me to complete my assignment. I promised only what I could deliver… and by God’s grace, I over-delivered on that promise.

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” — Ephesians 3:20

All glory to God for answering the prayers of a loving mother and a lost son. 🙏🏽🧡💚

🌟 WHY WE SCREEN 🌟

60% of U.S. adults battle at least one chronic disease.
30% fight two or more.
Billions are lost every year in productivity, healthcare costs, and missed potential.

But here’s the truth: most chronic diseases are preventable.
And when people feel better, they do better.

That’s why Synergy Saturday shows up — every week.
With free screenings, real conversations, and a whole-of-wellness approach that puts YOU first.

Because good health isn’t just personal…
It’s economic. It’s generational. It’s legacy.
Health is wealth — and wealth is health.

Your free screening today can protect your tomorrow.
Your personalized consultation? Invaluable.

Let’s shift the paradigm.
Let’s build communities where prevention is normal…
And thriving is expected.

Join us.
Be proactive.
Build your legacy through better health.

As we enter this festive season, I’m reminded of the powerful call found in Proverbs 3:27:

“Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.” — KJV

Every Saturday, Synergy Saturday stands in the gap for our community — offering free health screenings, patient navigation, experiential learning, warm meals, clothing, and compassionate support.
And every week, *it is within our power* to do good… because of people like you.

Your generosity helps us:
• Reach families who would otherwise go unseen
• Provide care to our unhoused neighbors
• Equip youth with skills and confidence
• Bring hope, health, and human connection

In this season of giving, let’s use what’s in our hands to lift someone else’s life.

✨ When you give, good flows.
✨ When you share, healing begins.
✨ When you act, lives change.

Join us in doing good this holiday season.
Be part of the blessing.

Service Above Self in action! Today at Rotary Club of Little Rock, we transformed our meeting into a hands-on in-service—tying ribbons on 200 Build-A-Bear teddy bears generously donated by Park Plaza Mall. Deep gratitude to Teresa Poe for the gift, Dr. Riva Brown and the American Red Cross Arkansas Chapter for their tireless leadership, Past-President Jason Chacko for the visionary idea, and President Mitch Bettis for championing it. Proud to help deliver these bears to their temporary home as they prepare to bring comfort and hope to children in need. Small acts. Big impact. 💛🐻✨
