Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you've had a nice week. I'm thankful that the election seemed to have been fair, and I've not heard any reports of voter suppression, just very long lines at many precincts.
Have you started your Christmas decorating yet? I have done a little, and I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow afternoon. I still have a lot of shopping left to do, and I want to get it finished by the weekend before Thanksgiving. We have two trips this month, and I want to have everything done before we leave. The main reason is I want to have time to be still and reflect during December. On page 78, Sarah says:
As I take a break from the demands of this season, I want to spend time resting in Your presence. I need Your Peace continually, just as I need You each moment.
I have a goal to be mindful of dwelling in Christ's Peace because we were designed to do just that.

I'm glad we read this scripture this week. It's a good reminder that Jesus is on his throne right now and no election can ever change that.
Prayer Requests
BEFORE I FORGET: Several of you are now no-rely comment bloggers. It makes it difficult for bloggers to respond to your comments. You might want to change it in your Blogger Profile settings by clicking on "show my email." I think that's how you do it.
- 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 Rita's sister as she's moving, and also pray for her sisters helping her to move.
- Be in prayer for Carla's Florida friends still recovering from two hurricanes.
- 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.
- Rita asks that you pray for her daughter as she has a significant case of pneumonia, and she asks for your fervent prayers for her complete recovery. She is the mother of her granddaughter. Please continue to pray that she will get better everyday, and that the antibiotics will do the job.
- Pray for a peaceful and smooth transition of power between now and January 20, 2025.
Starbucks' holiday launch was yesterday. I love the Christmas cups this year: They are so festive! Our Shelley works for Starbucks.
Until next time...
Blessings!

A good week overall, and I am grateful for a convincing election in efforts to realign our nation's values.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's f/up still shows pneumonia, hoping another round of antbx will kick it. I will be traveling next week to move my sister, praying for travel mercies and a successful move.
Have a great weekend everyone.
I loved seeing Jesus as the LIGHT and David’s words of trusting in the Lord. “You are my God. My times are in your hands”.
ReplyDeletePrayers and love be with all of you and have a wonderful weekend 🍁🍂🍁
Hello Friend, yes, a lot of bloggers are having issues with No Reply Comments.. but we have not been able to fix it.
ReplyDeleteMost of us that I know, did not do anything to have it even happen. The tricks some bloggers are trying to do to fix it are not working.
If anyone knows what is going on.. please share.
Thank you, Carla
