SATURDAY

Today’s Prayer Focus – Company

When we have company, if we know in advance, we tend to work hard to make sure everything is as perfect as possible. As we think of our heavenly home, think of God preparing heaven for us. I know there is an old song about “Company’s Coming”. Thinking of preparations in heaven for me, I hope they are happy and sing this, or a similar song, as they work.

Cooler Temperatures

It’s below fifth again today. I think most of us will be smiling about that!

Thankfulness – Day 16 – Company

I have always loved to have company. At my house it always meant pies in the oven. Usually it meant other children to take into the yard and to play with. Now, it might mean coffee and a treat of some kind. It means sitting down, inside or outside, and “Visiting”. “Heart to heart talking” is the best! I am always thankful for company. Thursday, we had two people stop by, one right after the other. How great it is to sit and “visit” with long-time friends. One was strictly a visit to talk a while. The second one was someone bringing fish he had caught and cleaned for us. We always enjoy these sweet breaks in our routine and special treats like the fish. We are very thankful for the friends and the visits.

Your Prayer List

I have lots of little composition books that have been my daily prayer lists. I hope I have encouraged you to start your personal list. We all know different people with different prayer needs. We all have our own family prayer needs. Your list is personal to you! It fits you just like your shoes fit you and probably not me. It’s personal! It’s fitting for you prayer time.

Only One Day Until Sunday

Use this day to prepare for the Lord’s Day if you need to do a couple more things to be ready. I can still see all the family’s Sunday shoes spread out where Daddy had polished them all for Sunday. We don’t have to polish shoes like that every week, but there is always something we need to do to look or be our best for the Lord’s Day. I was taught to give Him the best in all we do. I know I have failed too often, but “my best” is always the goal.
