The prayer Paul prayed for the church of Thessalonica suits me fine, because I've been falutin' around long enough in regard to two wonderful people that I suspect love life, love each other, but haven't yet met the greatest lover of all, Jesus Christ.
You can know them by DV and RV, a pair in their eighties, I'm guessing. One has had a stroke and the other takes care of the stroke victim. They are precious friends to me, and I read to the one who has had the stroke.
Now this prayer comes at a time when I simply don't know quite what to do. I work as a volunteer within a program that might not like me to make any suggestions about their salvation. I am not even good enough to be called an amateur in this kind of contest, but I do believe in prayer for myself and others, and believe me this is a great time to do that and ask the rest of the world to pray about that, too. I need help from the Holy Spirit! So this blog must be in the form of a prayer. Here goes......
Lord, I read in 1 Thessalonica, Chap 3, verse 11, the letter from Paul who is praying for his friends there to have success in reaching others and himself to have success in coming to them again. "May God our Father himself and our Master Jesus clear the road to you! And may the Master pour on the love so it fills your lives and splashes over on everyone around you!" And in my own words, Lord, I pray that you will clear the way for me or someone to enlighten DV and RV about you. Thank you, Lord, for giving me the gift of their friendship and bringing someone, even me, who will reveal you to them. Thank you, Lord. AMEN
I hope you will join me in this prayer and feel free to add any other person's name you might like to know the Lord, too.
I hope you had a grand Thanksgiving Day. We all have so much to be thankful for, even in these serious times. We spent a wonderful week in a little town in Wisconsin called Elroy, just full of good, friendly people! A delightful visit with my sisters, Shirley, who had us at her home, and Judy, whom we visited briefly in St. Paul, MN. Two people to whom I owe a lot! Thanks, Lord!!
Once again, Jo
