One Thousand Gifts: Friday, Week Two

 







Happy Friday, Friends!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I know I am!  Do you have any fun plans?  If so, tell us in comments!

This week's devotion is entitled "choosing grace."  It was sort of a tough one to read because it repeatedly points out that life is TOUIGH!  It's HARD!

Here are more sunflowers to make you feel better:


In spite of all that the world throws at us, we can always choose God's grace.


I'm reposting the only scriptural reference for this week's devotion:



Would you like to share your thoughts about the devotion?


Prayer requests:

  • Please pray for Kitty's DIL that she will want to participate in family events.  Let's not give up!  Let's bombard God with prayers that He'll turn her heart!
  • From Rita: Friends, please pray for my daughter's personal marriage/family situation. She needs strength, wisdom and encouragement for her stressful situation. Thank you.
  • Pray for Kris's daughter Kim's sweet dachshund who's been having seizures.  Kim is also expecting, so let's pray for mom and baby.
  • SAM IS HOME!!!!  Woot, woot!  God is so good!
  • Kitty is asking for prayers for her SIL, Eric, who has cervical dystonia. After waiting forever to see a neurologist and then having to wait weeks to get Botox treatment on the areas, he’s still in so much pain. He may need to get a brain stimulator and yesterday the doctor told him that even with that, he may have only 4-5 years. Please pray for her daughter, Molly, who is so positive, that she will remain positive. Thank you, friends.



I woke up early due to 4AM severe thunderstorms.
Now it's time for me to drink copious amounts of coffee!  *giggles*


Until next time...

Blessings!

  2. Oh, gosh, Kitty's new prayer request is faith-testing, but we know He can heal. Let us pray for Eric.
    I get to see Sound of Freedom tonight with FREE admission thanks to a local attorney's sponsorship for the public this weekend. Baby J's birthday party is tomorrow. Have a good weekend everyone!

  3. Thank you prayer warriors for your faithful prayers as I also pray for you.
    I am planning a Sunday brunch for family members who had in the spring/summer or will have birthdays coming up. Who knows maybe everyone will show up! Eric, understandably, won’t be able to.
    Happy weekend choosing grace!
