Fuzzy



Loving God,

We lift up Fuzzy in prayer this week.  We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives.  May you fill her with an abundance of your grace as she does her best to raise her children in a loving household.  We thank you for our own mothers that you have given us, whose love is so precious that it can never be measured, whose patience seems to have no end.  May we see your loving hand behind them and guiding them.  We pray for those mothers who fear they will run out of love or time, or patience.  We ask you to bless them with your own special love.  We ask this in Christ's name.
Amen.

Chrissy Patterson Family



Lord, this week we lift up to you the Patterson family. Give them, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give them an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give them an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.  Bestow upon them also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
