Jesus Listens For Advent & Christmas: Monday, Week 2

 

Happy Monday, Friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was fairly chill.

This week we'll be reading pages 22-37.  I can't wait to start on it this morning!  Below are two of the first Bible verses for this week's readings.  

Prayer Requests

• 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 that uses his talents.
• Rita asks for prayers for her sweet daughters for their fall graduate school semester.  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 travel mercies for Shanley Belle and Christopher. 
• Please keep Rita's sister and youngest daughter in your prayers:  big life changes about to happen.  PRAISE UPDATE:  God showed his hand with a miracle with Rita's youngest daughter last weekend, which greatly helped her relax in peace over the life change her daughter is making. The transition has begun. They are blessed by Him.  She prays the transition continues peacefully and amicably.
• Be in prayer for Carla's Florida  friends who lost 1/2 of their home. Today they received a forbearance on their mortgage payments until February 1st.  PRAISE GOD!
• Let's pray that we are blessed by our Advent study.
• Kitty asks if you could pray for Cissy’s emotional and mental wellbeing, please.  You may recall that she was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago.  She also requests that we pray for Eric also because he's miserable with his job.   Pray that he can find something suitable for him with insurance.

What are your plans this week?  I'd like to get a plan for Christmas shopping and start purchasing gifts.  I want to be finished shopping by mid-November.  

Until next time...

Blessings!
