***Monday Prayer and Gratitude***

Good Morning, Today I am praying for everyone who may be having surgery or recuperating from it. I am also praying for new believers, or people who are considering Christ as Savior. This journey of faith is not for the faint hearted, but it is the only way to live. I am grateful for the Lord's love and forgiveness today. I am grateful for the walk I took today, and for my sis-in-law's friendship, as we walk together a lot. I am grateful for the weather being so nice today. I am grateful for the prayers and support of my pastor, as I shared something with him in an e-mail yesterday, and he replied his support and encouragement. Have a blessed day.

Hi Trish! I am praying for a young single woman who gave birth yesterday to a baby boy. She has a horrible relationship with the father and no family support or even role models to know how to parent a child. I truely fear for this family's safety. The mother is saved but not practicing her Christianity. I am thankful for my granddaughter talking me into joining a fitness club and have been faithful about getting my excersize in. And duh, what a difference it is making in my weight loss. I hate when the doc is right! I even enjoy it and there are lots of older folks there so I don't feel out of place.

Karen, I will pray for this new mom, and her little baby. Praise the Lord for your joining the fitness club. That is awesome.
