One Thousand Gifts: Monday, Week Sixty

 




Happy Monday Morning, Friends!  This is the last lesson in "one thousand gifts!"   We will start our Advent study next week.  If you look on the sidebar, you will see the schedule for October.  You can either download it to your phone or your desktop if you like.  Whatever works for you!  

Our last devotion is entitled "becoming grace," and I'm anxious to see what y'all think about it.  It was not my favorite, unfortunately.  

Here is this week's scripture:



Prayer Requests

  • Please be in prayer for those recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Helene.  
  • Pray for our military and military families, and the Wisconsin National Guard deployed in Iraq.
  • 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 asks for prayers for her sweet daughters as their graduate school semester is beginning.  Pray for them to have a healthy and productive work/school/life balance.  
  • 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.
  • Pray for free and fair elections in the Unites States in every precinct! 
  • Please pray for a job opportunity for our oldest daughter Shanley (her post doc will be coming to an end).  Also, our son-in-law Christopher is applying for a CMO position within the pediatric practice/company he works for.  Please pray that God's will be done for their job opportunities.  
  • Rita has a praise regarding helping her SC sister relocate: small signs are pointing toward possible options for an apartment and for the logistics of moving. It's hard, and she's thankful for numerous siblings offering to help!
  • Continue to pray for Kitty's granddaughter Cissy as she recovers from a car accident.



We went to the Farmers' Market over the weekend.  We bought two pumpkins, an orange one for our kitchen, and a white one for our dining room.


Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. Thank you, Ricki Jill. I saved the schedule and am looking forward to it.

    I know there's a lot going on, but please keep my sister and youngest daughter in your prayers. Big life changes about to happen.

  2. Hello, sending prayers.
    I am also praying for us to remain strong in our Christian faith, so much seems to be hammering away at it. May we stay strong and faithful for HIM!

  3. I’m anxious to start our Christmas devotions, Ricki Jill. Thank you for my prayer requests as I continue to pray for all of you. Cissy went back to school today. What a miracle!
