One Thousand Gifts: Friday, Week Twelve

 

Flowers past their prime on our kitchen counter

Happy Friday, Friends!  What an absolutely *gorgeous* day here in Central Alabama!  After a rainy early morning, the sun broke out, and the skies are the most amazing shade of blue.

What are your thoughts about this week's lesson?  It's humbling to me recognizing Ann Voskamp's humble, sweet, and content spirit.  I enjoyed her examples of seeing "ugliness" in a much more grateful and beautiful light.

This week's scripture:

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 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.
• Pray for peace.
• Pray that God will place hedges of protection around all family members of every reader of this blog.
• Praise:  I was able to accomplish and meet all my commitments this week.  Thank-you for your prayers, and I thank God for giving me energy!

Until next time...

Blessings!
