Yahoo .... sunshine!!!! I will be outside working today once it warms up. It was only 37 degrees out there this morning. I can handle and like cool to work in - but that is cold!
Tonight is prayer night and as I updated the prayer sheets I see the prayer page is unusually quiet!

DAILY PRAYERS:
Prayed for 66 members of my family.
Prayed for the Salvation Praying Group to increase to 12 by the end of the year.
Prayed for the Power Hour of Prayer Group to increase to 24 by the end of the year.

Praying for 54 of the lost in our Salvation group by name
Prayed for the (7) personal requests that have been confidentially asked of me to pray.
Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may have committed. I pray for wisdom, guidance and ears to hear and for feet to follow.
Pray for our church to be a house of prayer and the prayer life of the congregation to be elevated.
Pray for my dear friend Donna every day!

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:
The sun shining this morning is a real blessing for me. I have been so down with all the gloomy weather. Thank You, Jesus!

BIBLE READING:
 2 Corinthians 3
Where the Spirit of the Lord is - there is freedom!



BOOK READING:
"Listening for God" by Marilyn Hontz
I am into a great section about barriers we put up. Sometimes we put up barriers that keep us from hearing God. One is that we are just too busy so we do not take the time to listen. It is easier to give God our left over time, rather than our best time. I bet that makes the enemy smile! I am so grateful that God is never too busy for me. We make time for what is important in our lives. I want to make the enemy unhappy today, how about you?

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY/MY TIME OF SILENCE NOTES:
The thought that kept going through my mind was that I should be sitting on the edge of my seat because I am about to be blessed big time! Oh my ... I wonder???
The other thought is I need to call my aunt Susie who turns 88 tomorrow. She is mom's baby sister and last living sibling of the 12.
I feel led to pray for marriages all around me, may they be strengthened.

Have a blessed day.
