Happy Friday, Friends!
It has been a busy week for me. I have a ZOOM meeting in a couple of hours, and I've also had several appointments and a class this week, not to mention all the chores and laundry from last week's vacation. Whew! Thankfully, we don't have any plans for the weekend, and I'm happy about that. What about you? Has it been a busy week?
This week's devotion is entitled "full bodied grace." This one was truly apropos because I have been waiting on a lot of people the past couple of weeks. Isn't it amazing how often times we read a devotion, or even scripture, and it applies to a specific situation or circumstance in our lives? Ann's prayer was very sweet for this one, too. Below is a favorite quote:
Passionately serving Christ alone makes us the loving servant to all...the work becomes worship, a liturgy of thankfulness.One Thousand Gifts Devotional by Ann Voskamp, p. 162
Here is this week's scripture:
Prayer Requests:
- 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.
- Kris and her husband Terry found and purchased a darling new townhome close to family and friends. She and Terry will be updating it in the coming months. However, they need to sell their condo where they currently live. Let's pray that God will send the perfect buyer quickly!
- Pray fervently that God will intercede in our country.
- Please pray for our military and military families.
- Carla has a prayer request: Her boys are moving to a duplex. Praying for moving to go well. And to remember all the things to change over when moving. ;-)
- Kitty's daughter Molly and SIL Eric have sold their house, and they need to find a house fast (they have two weeks to move out). Pray that God will guide them to the best home for them.
Have a lovely weekend, Friends!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Monday, Friends! How was your Independence Day Holiday??? We were blessed to have the whole family together at Lake Martin: My heart is full! It was hot, so we spent tons of time in the water and eating delicious food. Due to the heat, we only grilled one day, but that's okay.
What did y'all do? How did you celebrate?
This weeks devo is entitled "full-bodied grace." I have no clue what it's about: I haven't read it yet. I'll try to read it later this morning, but I have HUGE amounts of laundry. I think we messed-up every towel we have! Plus, I have lots of bed linens and clothing to wash, dry, iron, and fold. The work is worth it, though, to have everyone together. Also, yesterday was our youngest daughter's birthday, so if you wouldn't mind, say a little birthday prayer for Shelley!
This week's scripture is John 13:12 and 14. I already had a graphic for John 13:14-15, so I made another one for John 13:12. ;p

Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you are enjoying your long Independence Day Weekend!
I think I mentioned on Monday that I like this devotion a lot. What I like about it is the imagery of a family sitting around reading faith-based books. I also like the image of Ann's son holding his Bible in front of him "like a shield." This is my favorite quote from the lesson:
How will this planet change if God's people do not become its change?
Thoughts?
Here is this week's scripture:
Prayer Requests
- 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.
- Please pray for our military and military families.
- Shanley Belle and Christopher will be going home to Michigan Sunday. Please pray for travel mercies for them.
- Pray fervently that God will intercede in our country.
Today is definitely a day for iced coffee!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Independence Day, Friends! How will you be celebrating this week? I'll be celebrating with friends and family. I'm looking forward to it!
This week's devotional is entitled "shielding grace." I really loved this week's lesson, and I hope you do, too. :D
