TLWS: Friday, Week Forty-Four

 

"Fancy Dori"

a daylily named after my art teacher

Happy Friday, Friends!  How was your Memorial Day?  I hope you've had a nice week, too.

Below is this week's scripture:

The verse below is the next verse in the Bible.  I already had a graphic made of it, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it:

This week's reflection was political.  Sure, I agree that we should help refugees, but many pouring over are Southern border are not political refugees, and video evidence shows most are young men of fighting age, not families.  Many Christian organizations have taken dark money from NGO's that do not have the best interests of the United States at heart.  Plus, 85,000 children who've crossed the border are missing according to the Biden administration.  Where are they?  Where's the justice for child trafficking?  

We cannot afford the world's refugees at the same time we arm Eastern Europe.  We. can't. afford. it.

Although I have no reason to doubt that Maggie's heart is in the right place, I'm a little bit disappointed in this reflection.  What are your thoughts?

Prayer Requests

• Pray for Sam and the 157th.
• Pray for Kitty's grandson Riley's safety in his deployment in South Korea.  Also, pray for her grandson Connor as he returns to civilian life after being in the Marines. 
• We have a praise for Rita's BIL: He has had his testing, and there is now a plan for his treatment.
• Carla is exhausted by these companies that continue to push the AGENDA down our throats and on to our children.  I am in total agreement, and I think we need to pray for the employees of these companies as Americans vote with their pocketbooks.
• Special birthday prayer for Rita!

Have a peaceful and blessed weekend, everyone!

Until next time...

Blessings!
