One Thousand Gifts: Friday, Week Fifteen

 



Happy Friday Morning, Friends!  How's your week so far?  We've been enjoying listening to the rain and drinking hot tea this morning.  I am so thankful for the rain because we are experiencing drought conditions, and our governor signed a no outdoor fires declaration yesterday, so the timing of the rain couldn't be any more perfect.  

What did you think about this week's devotion?  Entitled "naming grace," Ann understands and conveys the power of language: God created the universe through language, and the way she points out how naming things and blessings actually blesses God is breathtaking.  Thoughts?

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.  Let's also be bold in asking God for more godly men and women willing to serve in government.
  • 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.
  • Please pray for our neighbor David who is grieving right now.
  • Trip will be traveling for training this week.  Please pray for travel mercies and understanding of all the material he will be learning.  



I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill

  1. We are experiencing droughts also and, unfortunately, forest fires have broken out, and even the New River Gorge area where we traveled for a fall foliage day trip is impacted one county south of us. I like the concept of namin graces, and we should always choose to name our blessings, otherwise, we may be leaving the devil a crack to try and get in to name troubles!
    I will honor our group's prayers. Happy Birthday to our Marines, and to all veterans......thank you for your service!

  2. Hi Prayer Warriors!
    Ahhh this week’s reading on naming graces and the ending…BELOVED!! Beautiful!
    I had a personal prayer answered that I’ve been praying for awhile. Granddaughter Avery chose to be baptized last evening. I am so proud of her. She’s the 16 year old daughter of son Tim and DIL, Julie.
    I will pray for all requests and thank you for praying for mine. Have a beautiful week prayer family. God bless you.
