Hello, Friends! I hope you had a blessed weekend.
This week's reflection is about caregiving and how difficult it can be to have quiet time. I enjoyed reading it quite a bit, and it has made me grateful for the help and care my husband and daughter has given me the past year or so.

The tulips are at their peak right now in our neighborhood.
They are beautiful in shades of pale and bright pink and deep purple.
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for the people suffering in East Palestine, Ohio. God, please let there be justice for them.
- Please pray for Kitty's son that he gets a job and for her family that they can be united.
- Pray for Sam and the 157th, our active duty military, and our veterans.
- Our country needs godly leaders. Let's pray that God will send us leaders who fear Him.
- Please join me in praying 2 Chronicles 7:14 for our country at 7:14 AM and PM when you can. Pray that there will be justice for all.

- Please add Kitty's DIL, Kristen’s family, and the repose of her beloved mom’s soul who passed two weekends ago. Kitty expressed that she was such a lovely woman!
- Please pray for my oldest daughter Shanley Belle (toxic work environment).
- We have a praise: Several of Carla's neighbors have lost sheds and barns due to snow and ice (collapsed roofs). Carla's property has been spared, and she's so thankful.
Blessings!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Friends! Are you celebrating today? At the very least you should wear green so you don't get pinched. ;P
Today's lesson is about our single friends, and how we should accommodate them in our churches, ministries, and lives. Here is the scripture from this week's reflection:
Our church doesn't have anything that's strictly for married couples. I know that some churches do, but I'm unaware of it at ours. I have seen a few ladies in my life mistreat and exclude single women, but most don't. There were several practical examples of inclusion in the lesson, and I think we need to try to do things in person when we can.
Thoughts?
Below are today's prayer requests. If you have new ones, or if I forgot one, please include it in comments.

Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Friday, Friends! I decided to stay on track with our devo, and if y'all didn't read last week's (or this week's) reflection, you can still get caught-up.
One thing that I took away from this week's lesson is this: Because God created marriage, he has a vested interest in their success.
Scripture from the lesson:
She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.~Proverbs 31:12Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.~1 Corinthians 13:4-5
How do you "add a little salsa" to your marriage? Care to share? Mr. Devo and I like to plan luncheon dates almost weekly.
