One Thousand Gifts: Monday, Week Twenty-Nine

 



Valentine's Day is Wednesday, Friends!  It's also Ash Wednesday, so I have to ask:  Are any of you giving up sweets or chocolate during Lent?

This week's devotion is entitled "humble grace" as seen in the graphic, above.  This is a good week for humbling ourselves, isn't it!



Prayer Requests:

  • Thank-you, God, for your constancy in answering our prayers!
  • 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.
  • 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 this year.  Pray for the 157th!
  • A group of Wisconsin National Guard will be deploying to Syria. Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
  • Kris asks that you pray for grand dog Snickers.  She is her daughter Kim's dachshund.  She has major back issues after a seizure a year ago and was doing better but now has had a relapse and cannot walk again.  Hoping and praying the meds will work again and she can resume function. 
  • Remember Rita's daughters in your prayers as they head into their spring semester of graduate studies while working full-time.  She is particularly concerned about their levels of stress.
  • Carla asks that we please pray for COMMON SENSE regarding the border to prevail. And as the Texas National Guard vs. The Border Patrol, may the hearts of these brave sons and daughters not get corrupt by government, but know what is best for the PEOPLE of this beloved country.  Pray for the fallen and the injured in the recent attack on our troops in Jordon.  May our military feel our prayers and support.
  • Pray for the families of the Marines who were tragically killed in the helicopter crash in California.  Pray for all our Gold Star Families.
  • Pray for the health of all our family members.
  • Please pray for a normal mammogram for me on Wednesday.
  • Pray for Rita's cancer-surviving sister's MRI on Tuesday on her lower back.
  • Pray for Lenten Blessings for all the families represented here on this blog!




I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
Let your little light shine!




Until next time...

Happy Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day!

  2. Prayers for all. Thank you all for remember me and my family and our sweet little Snickers the dachshund with back issues. Your prayers have been heard. She is now walking again. Not great but enough that she does not need her little wheel chair. She made it through another back issue. Hoping now she can continue to recover. She can walk but still drags her right back leg. That may never come back but she is independent again. Thank you all and Happy Valentines Day. Hugs Kris
