Happy St. Patrick's Day, Friends! Are you celebrating today? At the very least you should wear green so you don't get pinched. ;P
Today's lesson is about our single friends, and how we should accommodate them in our churches, ministries, and lives. Here is the scripture from this week's reflection:
Our church doesn't have anything that's strictly for married couples. I know that some churches do, but I'm unaware of it at ours. I have seen a few ladies in my life mistreat and exclude single women, but most don't. There were several practical examples of inclusion in the lesson, and I think we need to try to do things in person when we can.
Thoughts?
Below are today's prayer requests. If you have new ones, or if I forgot one, please include it in comments.
- Please pray for the people suffering in East Palestine, Ohio. God, please let there be justice for them.
- Please pray for Kitty's son that he gets a job and for her family that they can be united.
- Pray for Sam and the 157th, our active duty military, and our veterans.
- Our country needs godly leaders. Let's pray that God will send us leaders who fear Him.
- Please join me in praying 2 Chronicles 7:14 for our country at 7:14 AM and PM when you can.
- Rita has a prayer request for various health concerns within her family that are currently in crisis management to resolve. Also pray for Baby J's continued recovery.
- One of Carla's dear friends has a family friend who is being deployed to Poland/Romania. Praying that the preparations for his deployment go well as he prepares to leave his young family to honor this deployment.
- Please add Kitty's DIL, Kristen’s family, and the repose of her beloved mom’s soul who passed last weekend. Kitty expressed that she was such a lovely woman!
- Please pray for my oldest daughter Shanley Belle (toxic work environment).
I hope y'all have a great weekend! Trip and I celebrate 35 years of marriage Sunday.
Until next time...
Blessings!

I was pinch proof yesterday, and went out with Mr P for lunch, and later shopping and early dinner with a friend. I am on the newest prayer request - toxic work environments are the worst. Shunning singles is also bad. My sister who was most recently widowed has had her share of both disregard by married couples who were always friends before, as well married friends afterward who openly felt threatened by her interaction with their husbands. Really??! Are we still in high school?!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Prayers for all of friends’ requests, Ricki Jill, and thank you for including mine.

I seem like I am always playing catch up with your posts at the end of the week. We had a nice celebration for St. Paddy's day. Big hugs. Kris
