TLWS: Friday, Week Forty-Seven

Happy Friday, Friends!  I hope y'all have had a blessed week.  :D

I enjoyed this reflection and the metaphor of the paperwhites: We as Christians do the planting, and God is responsible for the outcomes.  

Here's this week's scripture:

Here are a few other verses encouraging us to leave the outcomes to God:

But I trust in your unfailing love;

    my heart rejoices in your salvation.

~Psalm 13:5

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

~Hebrews 10:36

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.

~James 5:7

Prayer Requests

• Please continue to pray for our country.
• Pray for Rita's bil (Don).  He is scheduled for surgery 6/26 (next Monday), but the first necessary clearance from the pulmonologist didn't go so well, and he will need a scan next week along with a cardiologist clearance and pre-op testing appts after these screenings.
• Pray for Kitty's DIL, Julie, that she will find it in her heart to be able to join in on family times.  God, please turn Julie's heart in Jesus' name!
• Praise:  Kris is expecting another grand baby.  Let's pray for the health of mother and baby. 
• Remember to pray for Sam and the 157th.
• Praise: ALL my tests have come back exceptional!  I thank God for you, my Sweet Prayer Warrior Friends!
• URGENT:  My friend Pat had valve replacement surgery yesterday.  It was more difficult than expected, and she lost a lot of blood.  Please pray for her continued recovery.

Here's some sugar for your morning tea (or coffee).

Until next time...

Blessings!
