SoulFull Week Fifteen

 

Bridal Veil Daffodil

Happy Good Friday, Friends!  I hope you are having a blessed Holy Week.  Did you enjoy this week's lesson?  Forgiveness is not for sissies; it's tough to put aside our pride and forgive when we have been hurt and or harmed by someone else.  I think this is a very appropriate lesson for Holy Week: Because of Jesus, our sins are forgiven.

I want to share with you a beautiful friendship blessing from John O'Donohue, because I am blessed by each and every one of you!

I thank my God whenever I think of you, and every time I pray for you all. I always pray for your partnership in the gospel---- you have a place in my heart.

Here is the scripture from our lesson:

Prayer Requests

• Kris's MIL took a horrible fall. She broke a lot of bones in her face and had to have many stitches. She has been in a lot of pain.  Pray that she will be amenable to having home healthcare so she can remain independent.
• Pray for Kitty's grandson Connor as he trains as a corrections officer.
• Pray for Carla that she will be able to effect real and meaningful change in her village.  She is serving on committees, and her village needs her conservative leadership!
• Pray for Kitty's son Mike that he can find a job that uses his talents.  He is a very talented artist!
• Rita's daughters need our prayers.  One is finishing up her masters this semester, and the other is having an especially hard time balancing work/school/home life. Pray for God's strength, patience and guidance as they each navigate their own course.
• Please keep Rita's sister who moved to West Virginia in November in prayer as she's healing from knee replacement surgery.
• Please pray for Carla's friend C.M.H who has joined the United States Army. Carla and her family are so proud of him. He will be 23 in June, and he is a dear friend of her boys. He was in their homeschool group.  He will leave for basic training at Fort Jackson May 22. He is her son Atticus' best friend.  What is interesting about this... Carla's son Sam also did his basic at Fort Jackson.
• Pray for my mother, that she will be cooperative at the SNF.  Also, please pray that we can find the most appropriate placement for her long-term.
• Please pray for our blog friend Jenna Meon.  She is currently in rehabilitation for her walking.
• Praise for Rita as she and her siblings celebrated her brother's seventieth birthday together recently.
• HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRAYERS FOR KRIS tomorrow!

Until next time...

Happy Easter!
