One Thousand Gifts: Friday, Week Eleven

Happy Friday, Friends!  How has your week been?  Do you have plans for the weekend?  I attended a Celebration of Life for my friend Pat who passed away in July.  It was such a sweet service, and I am thankful for her lovely family for organizing it.  She was from New Jersey, and was buried there in July. 

I am so happy for Kris and the new edition to her family: She has a new precious little grandson!  Kris, I can't tell you how much it meant to me to read about him and see his precious little face this week.  Seeing young people marrying and having children gives me hope!

This week's devotion is entitled "singing grace," and I was a little apprehensive reading the title because I cannot sing.  At all.   ;P  The lesson was not what I expected based on the title :D

Here is this week's scripture:

Do you have any thoughts about the lesson?

Prayer Requests

• Please pray for Kitty's DIL, Julie, that her heart will change; for SIL, Eric, that he will see some relief for his cervical dystonia; and for her son, Mike, that he will get a job.
• Carla reminds us that it's not too early to pray for an honest election for all sides running, and that everyone that wants to run can have a fair go at it.
• Please keep Rita's daughters in your prayers. They are both in graduate school and working full time (one being a full time momma), and are feeling a lot of stress currently.
• Pray for the victims of the terrorist attack in Israel, and for the entire Middle East.
• Pray for our country as we're experiencing an invasion on our Southern border.  We don't know who these fighting age men; they have not been vetted.

Have a great weekend, and take the time to be still and listen!

Until next time...

Blessings!
