Happy Monday, Friends! How is your Thanksgiving prep going so far? Are you hosting your family this year? We will be traveling these next couple of weeks, so if I'm a little late posting you'll know why.
I hope you're enjoying Jesus Listens For Advent & Christmas as much as I. Here is a Bible verse to get us started on this week's lessons:
Prayer Requests
- Pray for our military and military families, and the Wisconsin National Guard deployed in Iraq.
- Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job that uses his talents.
- Pray for Rita as she helps her sister move to a different state.
- Be in prayer for Carla's Florida friends still recovering from two hurricanes.
- Kitty asks if you could pray for Cissy’s emotional and mental wellbeing, please. You may recall that she was in a car accident a few of weeks ago. She also requests that we pray for Eric also because he's miserable with his job. Pray that he can find something suitable for him with insurance.
- Rita asks that you pray for her daughter as she has a significant case of pneumonia, and she asks for your fervent prayers for her complete recovery. She is the mother of her granddaughter. Please continue to pray that she will get better everyday, and that the antibiotics will do the job.
- Pray for a peaceful and smooth transition of power between now and January 20, 2025.
Taking my coffee to go this morning.
The Westies have vet appointments in a few minutes.
Have a great week!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Friday, Friends! How was your week? Mine was very busy with appointments, meetings, finishing-up a few Christmas decor projects, Christmas shopping, and wrapping gifts. I think everything will be done by my goal of December 1st. Today to reward myself, I'm going to a library book sale which should be a big one! I'm hoping to find a few special gifts for my son-in-law.
Didn't you love our lessons this week? I appreciated the reminder that Jesus is not limited to what he can accomplish on our behalf. What a comfort and encouragement!
What about you? Thoughts?
Below you'll find the scripture from this lesson.
So my male Westie Finlay is fussing at me because I'm up so early. He wants me to go back to bed! He is such a funny little dog...I thought I'd share.

Happy Monday, Friends! How was your weekend? It has been warm, rainy, and dark here in Central Alabama. But I did finish all interior Christmas decor, and I have a good handle on gifts, too.
Today is Veterans Day. Did you know that Birmingham has the oldest and one of the largest Veterans Day Parades? If you have the opportunity, thank a veteran today!
ATTENTION: I need y'all to email me and give me your preferred email address and your current mailing address please and thank-you! :D
I'm looking forward to our Bible Study this week. I am truly enjoying this book, and the art and prayers make me smile.
Here are three of the Bible verses from this week to get us started.
The floral theme was not intentional. These are recycled graphics.
But maybe it's God's way to tell us to bring some fresh flowers into our homes and spread some joy!
Prayer Requests
- Pray for our military and military families, and the Wisconsin National Guard deployed in Iraq.
- Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job that uses his talents.

Until next time...

Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you've had a nice week. I'm thankful that the election seemed to have been fair, and I've not heard any reports of voter suppression, just very long lines at many precincts.
Have you started your Christmas decorating yet? I have done a little, and I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow afternoon. I still have a lot of shopping left to do, and I want to get it finished by the weekend before Thanksgiving. We have two trips this month, and I want to have everything done before we leave. The main reason is I want to have time to be still and reflect during December. On page 78, Sarah says:
As I take a break from the demands of this season, I want to spend time resting in Your presence. I need Your Peace continually, just as I need You each moment.
I have a goal to be mindful of dwelling in Christ's Peace because we were designed to do just that.

I'm glad we read this scripture this week. It's a good reminder that Jesus is on his throne right now and no election can ever change that.

Starbucks' holiday launch was yesterday. I love the Christmas cups this year: They are so festive! Our Shelley works for Starbucks.
Until next time...
Blessings!
