Happy New Year, Friends! I hope you are enjoying the first week of 2024 so far. We are so blessed to be able to study devos together and pray for one another.
This week's devotion is entitled "hunting grace." It could also have been entitled "hunting beauty," couldn't it! I thought this was a very sweet lesson because it does focus on making that conscientious effort to find beauty and grace in the midst of our messy and chaotic lives.
Here is this week's scripture:
Prayer Requests:
- Kitty asks that we pray that her Grandson Connor and his dad will make amends; Son Mike will find a job; and Son in law Eric will be able to manage his cervical dystonia.
- Pray that God will keep a hedge of protection around each of our families, especially concerning our health (physical, mental, and spiritual).
- Thank-you, God, for your constancy in answering our prayers!
- Pray for unity in our country, and that God will show us mercy and continue to bless us.
- Carla has a request for her community as crime is increasing. She also requests that we pray for courage for the citizens of Cameron.
- Sam is back to his monthly Drill schedule with the Wisconsin National Guard. Prayer request is for strength and wisdom. Longer drill periods have been set for 2024. Pray for the 157th!
- Praise: Our families traveled safely over the holiday season. God is so good!
I hope you have a cozy weekend, Friends!
Until next time...
Blessings!
Ricki Jill
Praying for all the above requests. Love and prayers to you all.

I liked this lesson, also, and yes, Hunting Beauty would have been a perfect alternative. Prayers for all, dear friends, as we continue on in this new year.
ReplyDeleteYes, I liked this week's devotion. There's always some beautiful thing to behold in the worst of situations, we just sometimes need to pause and see i, perhaps during, but certainly after the fact.
