One Thousand Gifts: Monday, Week Forty

 

Happy Monday, My Lovelies!  I hope y'all had a blessed weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!  I spent the weekend at Lake Martin with Trip and the pups, and it was so nice.  It was unseasonably cool, so we didn't spend much time on the boat, but we did spend a lot of time on our upper porch in the trees, relaxing, reading, and watching baseball.  We've returned home to a gentle rain which is the perfect day to do laundry.  Lots and lots of laundry!  ;D  

What did y'all do over the weekend?

This week's lesson is entitled "standing grace," and I think it's one of Ann's better devotions.  I hope you like it as much as I do!

Here is this week's scripture:

Prayer Requests

• Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job. AI has taken away many jobs in his industry.  Mike might have the opportunity to redo a game with a friends.  Let's pray that this works out for him, and it will lead to more opportunities.
• Pray for Kitty's SIL Eric: one of Eric’s circuits was not closed. The surgeon says that this has never happened before and so he has to go back yet again Thursday and get another incision to connect the circuit so that he all can be programmed. UPDATE FROM KITTY:  Eric got a job!! Hallelujah! Thank for praying, friends!
• Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
• Continue to pray for Carla's son Sam and the 157th!  UPDATE:  Sam will be leaving for training in Louisiana May 23rd for 5 weeks.  
• Pray for leadership in our country, leaders who will care about America and Americans above global interests. 
• Also, let's pray for Christian leadership on college campuses.  Pray that evil intent with the demonstrations will be thwarted.  
• Please pray for our daughter Shanley Belle.  She is facing a very scary health crisis.  We are all very upset.  Trip has tried to be strong and comforting.  He is truly a prince among men!

Have a beautiful week, Prayer Warriors!

Until next time...

Blessings!
