Proverbs & Prayers: Week #47


The verse for this week is Proverbs 26:20--

"Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down."

Isn't this such a wonderful nugget of truth? How many problems would be solved if we would just quit adding wood to the fire and keep our mouths shut? This is a good verse to think about this week.

I have some prayer requests to share also. Please let me know if you have any to add.

~ Kristi's daughter Rachel is having surgery on November 24. I'd like to ask you to go by and leave Kristi a comment to let her know you are praying for her and Rachel. It must be hard on her heart as a Mom. I know from reading her entries that she has full faith in God. I'm sure she'd appreciate the encouragement as well.

~ our personal friend Amy's son Cade is having surgery this week on November 24 as well.

~ Orion's family as they have their first Thanksgiving without him.

~ our troops and their families. Let's never forget to pray for them.

~ safe travel for those traveling on Thanksgiving.

Thank you for visiting today for Spiritual Sundays. I hope you have a wonderful week full of thankfulness!

Have a day of blessings!
