October

This month we pray for . . .

For family and friends who have lost loved ones, and for the repose of the souls of those we love who have gone before us.

For FOSTERING FUTURES, a new foster agency recently opened up in Washtenaw County, for wisdom and guidance for the social workers and foster parents who will be taking in those hurting, fragile little lives.

For the schools our children attend, that God would grant their teachers wisdom, and help the administrators make the most of the resources they have.

Lord, for these and all our other intentions, give us grace enough for each day . . . and wisdom not to look too far ahead. Help us to grow in mercy and grace. Amen!

Do you have a special request? Send me a link, and I'll add you to the list! (Be sure to let us know how your prayer was answered, too.)

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta always had room in her heart for one more. "Bring the child to me," she'd say.

Let us follow her example, and allow God to enlarge our hearts to love more deeply, and enlarge our souls, to trust Him more completely.
