Happy & Blessed Sunday Friends!
SEASON OF GRATITUDE
This morning as I sit with Sammy curled up next to me, watching the birds at the feeder outside my window, enjoying my coffee, I'm pondering my daily gratitude. I'm thankful for so much. As I thought I prayed for the Lord to reveal something I've never thought about before and I chuckled at what he shared.
Back when I was a kid, growing up, we didn't communicate with technology. If I wanted to connect with my neighbor friends, I would ask my parents for permission, walk over, knock on the door, ask for my friend and then we would go off and do our thing.
When together, we used our imagination to come up with our entertainment. We climbed up and down the hay bales in the barn. We ran through the tall grass. We climbed trees. And when hungry, we headed back to whoever's house was closest for snacks.
Such a carefree childhood. Full of fun, playfulness and simple things. We didn't discuss any social media, TV shows besides Little House on the Prairie. We didn't bring cell phones and take pictures. We just lived in the experience of that moment.
I'm so grateful for growing up in that time. I cherish the simplicity of being a kid back then and the fun memories the Lord brought back to me on this Sunday morning.
As I walked through these memories, I could feel my body relax, heart rate slow, spirit lifted and my face smiling. Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful reminder today. I cherish these fond and playful memories with immense gratitude.
May you, my Friends, take a moment today and reflect on a childhood memory that brings you great joy and gratitude too!
"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."

Father God - So many of us feel disheartened, discouraged, even defeated. We hurt, we feel anxious, we are angry. We wonder when earthly justice will be applied and we pray for Heavenly Justice to intervene. I'm concerned that many feel abandoned and neglected.
We need Holy Spirit comfort and instruction.
Like King David, we cry out to You with deep angst. We feel surrounded and oppressed by enemies. Like King David, we ask where You are, we plead for Your intervention, and we ask You to remove Your enemies. Like King David, we want peace and justice to prevail. Like King David, we want You to move on our behalf.
Like King David, we wait on You. Strengthen us LORD, deepen our faith, and grant us Your patience and wisdom.
Like King David, we praise You for being holy and sovereign. Like King David, we are in awe of Your attributes. Like King David, we rejoice when Your holiness is known.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for protection against all forces that plot against us.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for healing. Make us whole and healthy.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for provision. Give us the means to take care of our debts.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for guidance. Help us to walk in Your ways.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for the supplies we will need to meet any sudden disruptions.
We ask, in the name of Jesus, for Your wings to shelter us, for Your hand to protect us, for Your love to manifest in us.
Help us to know when and how to obey.
Help us to bless others.
Help us to draw near to You.
Abundantly bless the friends here, Father. Bless them ten-fold for the friendships they've offered me, the kind words they've spoken about me, and the prayers they have spoken over me and my family.
Return to them what the locust has eaten. Heal them. Bring reconciliation and reunion. Help them keep their lamps lit.
I ask, in the name of Jesus, for Psalm 91 promises and protection over their households. Reward their faithfulness and obedience to You. Give them Your wisdom that they may thrive, give them Your hope and peace, and take care of every need they have.
Give them restorative and restful sleep, guard their hearts and minds, and pour out Your favor upon them.
I humbly and gratefully go before You because of my personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thank You for all You do —all the things we see and all the things that aren't revealed.
We are content in You.
