We've been blessed with a bounty of tomatoes this summer!
Happy Friday, Friends!
***Let's fervently pray for Kris's husband Terry to recover quickly because they are planning to close on their condo Monday!
We know that Kris's week has been incredibly stressful. How about the rest of y'all? What's going on in your world? Do any of y'all have any prayer request updates?
This week's lesson is entitled "storm grace." This is a lovely lesson, and it's actually the crux for the entire book:
To thank God for all is to give God glory in all.p. 175
This is a hard lesson! Below are a couple of the Bible verses shared in the devotion:
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for Rita's best friend from grade school - high school whose husband and love of her life passed away on 7/31. He was just 68.
- Carla's son Sam has friends who will be deploying to Iraq. Please be in prayer for our military and military families... this is a Wisconsin National Guard unit that is deploying to Iraq. Sam is not deploying, but he has friends in this unit.
- Kris's husband Terry is in the hospital with an intestinal blockage. Please pray for a speedy and complete recovery before they move in a couple of weeks. He also needs to be available for their condo's closing on Monday, August 12th.
- 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.
- Rita is asking for prayers for a sister of hers who lives alone, geographically far from family. She is in a crisis with her children turning their backs on her in a time of most need. Rita and her siblings are having to find a way to navigate through the messiness of it all and determine how they can help her. She is not in great health either. Please pray that God will share his wisdom with them as how to help the situation.
- Pray for Christian leadership in our country. Also pray that God will turn our hearts to him, and he will lavishly bless us with his steadfast love.
- Please pray for me the next couple of weeks as I will be getting my six month scans and going to my six month appointments to my medical oncologist and radiology oncologist. Please pray that all my testing will be negative for cancer, and that my other bloodwork is healthy. My appointment with my oncologist concerning test results will be on August 28th.
I know our prayer request list is long this week. Thank you so much for your commitment to praying for each other!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Thank you all for my prayer intentions. My friend celebrated her husband's life with family this past week, and my family is working on solutions for my sister in SC, even though her four adult kids are not. She managed through 16" of co ti.uous rain from TS Debby, and literally, through storm grace, she and her home were unscathed. 🙌
