November Patchwork of Prayers and Blessings

  NOVEMBER PATCHWORK OF PRAYERS & BLESSINGS

      It seems like life is a patchwork of ups and downs, filled with blessings of love and abundance, pain and worry, and daily bits and pieces sewn together with stitches of God throughout.  For my daily devotion time this year, I hope to patch my days together with reflection and prayer and hopefully a photo or two!!  

     And now we come to November...the month of gratitude and thanksgiving!  So it is only natural to delve into the scripture for passages relating to giving thanks and praise to the Almighty!  May it be a month of gratitude for ALL the MANY blessings that surround us on a daily basis...from family and friends to shelter and warmth and food in abundance!

October Patchwork of Prayers and Blessings

               OCTOBER PATCHWORK OF PRAYERS & BLESSINGS

      It seems like life is a patchwork of ups and downs, filled with blessings of love and abundance, pain and worry, and daily bits and pieces sewn together with stitches of God throughout.  For my daily devotion time this year, I hope to patch my days together with reflection and prayer and hopefully a photo or two!!  

      And for this month?  It's time to ponder PRAYER!  No lack of scripture references for this month!!  Both Old and New Testament accounts of coming to God in prayer.  And since October is Pumpkin month...all things ORANGE!

September 2024 Patchwork of Prayers and Blessings

   SEPTEMBER PATCHWORK OF PRAYERS & BLESSINGS

      It seems like life is a patchwork of ups and downs, filled with blessings of love and abundance, pain and worry, and daily bits and pieces sewn together with stitches of God throughout.  For my daily devotion time this year, I hope to patch my days together with reflection and prayer and hopefully a photo or two!!  

      And for this month?  It's harvest time for fruits and vegetables!  The gardens and orchards are abundant!  Which led me to think of the Fruit of the Spirit - those virtues and attributes which define who we are as Christians.  Paul identifies them most specifically  in Galatians (see Sept 1).  Our color for this month?  The leaves are changing from green to gold!
