One Thousand Gifts: Monday, Week Forty-Five

 



Happy Monday, Friends.  It's early!  And I need coffee!  I love summer.  I really do.  However, we are super busy with lake weekends, holidays, and family birthdays.  It was very hot here in Central Alabama over the weekend, and sometimes being out in the heat takes my energy.  I'm hoping to stay in town this weekend and get caught-up on some chores and projects.

What did you do over the weekend?  Kitty, have you recovered from your trip?

This week's lesson is entitled "joyous grace."  I am reading it once I finish this post and my coffee finishes brewing.



Here is this week's scripture:






Prayer Requests

  • Rita asks for us to pray for her younger daughter's relationship struggles, and that she will listen to God's spirit within to make the right decisions.
  • 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.
  • Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
  • Continue to pray for Carla's son Sam and the 157th!  Sam is in Louisiana training.  It's hot there, y'all!  Pray that he will stay hydrated.  UPDATE:  Today is the last day for Sam and his team to be "IN THE BOX."  Let's really lift him up today!!!
  • Praise to God for allowing us to live during this time in the greatest Republic the world has ever known.  
  • It looks like John has been accepted as a patient at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.  It could be up to 12 weeks before he is admitted.  He has seen several specialists in the last 3 or 4 years.  Diana says if they don't get any answers there, they are pretty much out of options as far as improvement in his quality of life.  Let's pray for a speedy admittance and answers!


Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill

  2. Praises for Sam and his team, and for Kitty's family wonderful vacation (read all about it in her blog post today). I had a fun weekend, spending time with little J. She is such a hoot in conversation and actions these days! Ricki Jill, the heat zaps my energy too. We walked at 7am today, and can ourselves getting out there as early as 6:30 this week. It's HOT! 🔥 Have a great week, everyone.
