We were blessed to get together this past Tuesday night at the lovely home of Andy & Chris Weisbrod. Chris was our gracious hostess this month and we all felt right at home. Her 7-layer bars were "out of this world"! Someone needs to contact Yankee Candle about marketing the aroma from those bars. It smelled like birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas all wrapped together. Thank You, Chris, for making it special!
We discussed our latest chapter (#3) in "Catching Fireflies" by Patsy Clairmont. One of the questions was, "When was the last time your morning went askew"? Another was "Who are the intercessors in your life"? We had a wonderful time of sharing over this chapter. We also read Philippians 4 and were yet again amazed by Paul and his determination to perservere in praise through adversity.
The Lord really impressed me, during the days leading up to our time together, that we need to begin praying specifically for our needs and the needs of others. We shared needs both for ourselves and others and then began to pray. There is something very powerful about being open and honest with one another about our needs and then taking that openess to the throne of God. We are so blessed to know that we can come boldy before His throne for He is waiting and willing to touch our lives in a miraculous way.
God is doing some amazing things in the lives of the precious ladies of Spirit of Grace. Let's keep listening closely to His voice and follow His light so that our light can burn even brighter than before.

Yours for Illuminated Living,

Trish Sanders
