Happy Friday, Prayer Warriors! How was your week? I feel like I'm finally catching up with things since we've been on three big trips and a couple of little ones so far this year. I deep cleaned our kitchen on Wednesday, and it felt so good!
This week's devotion is entitled "one-hundred-times-a-day grace." This one was definitely a stream of consciousness writing, but my big take away is how devout Jews make a point to thank God at least one hundred times a day. What a lovely tradition; that's one I want to try and have the discipline and inclination to do!
Here is this week's scripture:
I also wanted to share with you the Rembrandt print Ann mentioned that she has hanging in her kitchen:
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
Supper at Emmaus or The Pilgrims at Emmaus
oil on mahogany panel
1648
The Louvre
The subject of this painting is Rembrandt's depiction of Christ revealing himself to the pilgrims during the supper at Emmaus. It's a scene from the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, which tells the story of Christ's intimate repast with two of his disciples, Luke and Cleopas, who have failed to recognize him after his resurrection from the dead (Luke 24:13-35).
Prayer Requests
- Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job. AI has taken away many jobs in his industry.
- Pray for Kitty's SIL Eric's continued recovery from surgery. Also pray for her daughter as her responsibilities have increased while Eric recovers.
- Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
- Continue to pray for Carla's son Sam and the 157th!
- Pray for leadership in our country, leaders who will care about America and Americans above global interests.
I'm taking my coffee to go this morning.
We're headed to the lake!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Monday, Sweet Friends! What did you do this weekend? Did you get outside and enjoy some beautiful spring weather?
This week's devotion is entitled "one-hundred-times-a-day grace," and I hope it is half as good as last week's, which I loved!
Here is this week's scripture:

- Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job. AI has taken away many jobs in his industry.

Happy Friday, Friends!
Have you had a good week? Mine has been busy with events including a party. I was also able to spend quite a bit of time with Shelley this week, too, so it's been a very good week!

This week's devotion is entitled "love song grace." It is my very favorite of all the lessons so far because of its "rightness" in how to think. My grandmother always taught me that it isn't any of my business what other people think about me. However, this is the only and the very best exception, isn't it!
What are your thoughts?
Here are this week's scriptures:
Prayer Requests
- Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job. AI has taken away many jobs in his industry.
- Continue to pray for Kitty's SIL Eric as he recovers from surgery. Pray that he won't get any infections. Also pray for her daughter as her responsibilities have increased while Eric recovers.
- URGENT: Eric's surgery is today where they do an implant in his chest that will coordinate with the brain implant. All this will need programming and may take awhile to tweak everything. Pray for his continued recovery.
- Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
- Please pray for my friend Charlotte's son Connor. He is struggling with mental illness.
- Please pray for my friend Dawn who is fighting leukemia.
- Sam has another extended Drill Date this month. He cannot tell us much... just that several teams will be deployed. Pray for the 157th!
- Pray that war won't be escalated in the Middle East and elsewhere, and that God's will be done!
Have a lovely weekend, Sweet Prayer Warrior Friends!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Monday, Friends! How was your weekend? We went to the lake to get our cabin ready for the summer season. We haven't been down there in a long time. Although we mostly worked, it was nice to go!
This week's lesson is entitled "love song grace." I'm intrigued by the title, aren't you?
This week's scripture is one of my very favorite Bible verses:
