TLWS: Friday, Week Twenty-Three

 

Happy Epiphany, Friends!  Today our Eastern Orthodox brothers and sisters celebrate Christmas.

I loved this week's reflection, and I especially like the title:  Aging Gratefully.  Maggie covered a whole lot of issues concerning our older demographic, and I especially liked reading what scripture says about how we should approach our older years:

For through wisdom your days will be many,

    and years will be added to your life.

~Proverbs 9:11

Gray hair is a crown of splendor;

    it is attained in the way of righteousness.

~Proverbs 16:31

Even to your old age and gray hairs

    I am he, I am he who will sustain you.

I have made you and I will carry you;

    I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

~Isaiah 46:4

I love the promised made in these verses, don't you?

Prayer requests?

We have several requests from Rita.  Her family is under attack, and we need to lift them up!

Please pray for:

• Rita's daughter M who has had a terrible GI bug.
• Rita's granddaughter Baby J is in the hospital with RSV.
• Daughter M's family dog had surgery today (a Welsh terrier).
• Rita has a praise that daughter B is over her illness!
• Let's also lift up daughter M's manager who has been so kind to M during her illnesses and her family's illnesses.  Thank-you, God, that M has such an understanding and kind manager!

If y'all have any requests, place them in Comments or email me!

Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill
