♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥

I was so very excited this morning. Today is the second Monday of the month 

and  therefore,  it is  prayer Monday.  We meet every second and fourth 

Monday.  We just began this initiative in June and we started out with  5 

 praying friends from our church.   Today two  of our  friends  had other 

commitments  so I was expecting  our small little group of 3 ,  but  praise 

the Lord, two new  folks from church joined us.  Glory to God, thank you, 

Jesus.  The Lord told me to  start this  church prayer group  and  He is 

faithful to see itgrow! I love you, Lord!!!

    

 ♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥

Coffee, fruited yogurt,  a blueberry waffle and  two strips of  crisp bacon.  

Thank you, Lynn  for such a delightful  breakfast!!

♥♥From the camera♥

Last week Amanda sent me  a gorgeous box of  fresh flowers...     flowers I 

didn't even know the name of..  and they are  still blooming so beautifully!!!

These gorgeous flowers  filled two  vases...!  So I took  various shots to  enjoy their beauty!

 

I just love them!!!

♥♥Looking around the house♥♥

I  sort of  got out of the mood for purging  last week..  Since  our girls 

are coming to celebrate birthdays in August, I   have  doing a bit of 

ordering   gifts and   planning  a party.  So  I haven't been  paying 

too much attention to the house either.   It is straight  for unexpected

 guests, but  I've done nothing special. Every time I pass through the 

dining room,  I stop to enjoy my flowers!!!

♥♥What am I listening to♥♥

Lynn is listening to a local sports talk show on the radio while he is 

washing the dinner dishes...  

♥♥Something I want to share♥♥ 

I am just copying what they wrote about their vlog."Living Traditions Homestead 

is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has 

gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings 

this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and 

after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and

take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you 

will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and

watching as we give upthe rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the

country. "   I find it very informative!

♥♥Devotional, inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse♥♥

I have been going to Intercessors for America nfor  about 10 years... feeling

 all the time that America needed so much prayer and we  prayed so, 

for  deliverance for our  nation,  for its culture,   for the decline in so 

many areas,  now  against racism,  critical race theory in

 our schools, abortion, just everything. 

Lately,  as we consider  the demise of  our nation,  the  eradication of 

statues, and  history, the voting debacle,  the attack on families, 

 churches, Christians,  and the Constitution,  we  realize  just how con-

certed the enemy has been over the decades  to bring us to this point.

 This is not something that just came upon us,  but  has been brewing for decades.  I believe it really began in the  early 20ith century with some  innocuous  moves of various liberal presidents.  These things were packaged to   look innocent, but  really   were  setting a foundation for  future  actions that  systematically eroded  cultural mores  to bring us to where we are today.  Unfortunately, as  the erosion  took place, the church was silent,  

and continues to  stick her head in the sand and allow  the entities that are to push their ungodly  agenda on the nation.    God has a solution, but it all begins with the church.  Christians  need to  seek God's face,  and  learn to know  His will for them.  When I  began doing this I could  hear  the Holy Spirit tell me to  start a prayer ministry in our small church.  I was faithful,  an obedient servant to  do this to the best of my ability starting in June.  We started with 5 pray-ers.  This week we had 7 prayers..  which is significant  as our church only has about  35   attending members.  I praise God for His faithfulness  and  look forward to  what He will do with  our small group!.  Pray that you might  be a faithful and obedient  servant   and willingly  attend to what  the lord is speaking into your Spirit!.

Prayer:

Our government leaders to seek God, and for the fear of the Lord to  spread among all people.

For healing of the sick,  salvation of the lost,  deliverance for the hurting,  

Personal:  situations,   Prodigal children to return to  their roots and be spiritually healed, Churches to arise,  against   ungodly moves of government to  infringe on  godly   practices...  protect our children from  the ungodly teachings and  protect them from ungodly people who  wish them harm for their own purposes. 

Pray for  organizations that are  doing good in the communities,  Crisis Pregnancy  Centers, Straight Street, Street Ransome, Salvation Army, Rescue Missions,  etc!
