Gifts Money Can’t Buy

Published by

Proverbs 16:24  ” Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” I recently had lunch with a friend and before saying our Good-byes, my friend asked if she could pray for me.   She lifted my needs before the Lord.  She spoke words of affirmation over my life and told me the ways she saw God using me.  In that moment I was struck by the fact that I had been given a gift that money can not buy. Everyday we are given opportunities to speak kind words. Sometimes we are afforded moments to give what money can’t buy: a blessing of hope. Father,  thank you for the gift my friend gave me when she encouraged my overwhelmed heart.  Please help me be sensitive to the needs of those around me and be ready with ‘gracious words’. — Countdown to Christmas: In the coming days I will be sharing with you some of my favorite ornaments and why they remind me of gifts that money can’t buy.

Kingdom prayers for my family

I am part of a huddle group that is going through the book “Building a Discipleship Culture.” We were challenged to incorporate the prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13 into our regular prayer time throughout the week.  I shared this prayer in our Bible Study… some of the ladies wanted me to post it… Our Father in Heaven hallowed be your name. Father, Daddy, you are worthy!  You are King.   Wonderful is your name. Your Kingdom come… your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Your ways- Your rule- Your authority in my life – my mind- my actions- in our home- in ministry.  Father may your kingdom advance in our family and marriage. Give us this day our daily bread. Father – you are King.  You are able.  Thank you for the money for Guatemala. I pray for the rest of team to get their support.   For the well…. house… we want to build on the mission field … Lord, we need your help.  Father,  your kingdom come your will be done. …
