Which brings up a good point...let's pray for each other, friends. You know who needs our prayer most right now, but let's also pray for those who don't know that they need our prayer, for those who might be dealing with something in silence, for those who may be hurting or lost or weak...all those things we all struggle with from time to time. And beyond prayer, let's REACH OUT and send notes, write e-mails, connect on Facebook (hey, it's something!), make phone calls...let's remember each other outside of every other Thursday, and make it a point to REACH OUT.
Speaking of REACHING OUT...that's exactly what Debbie and Mitzie planned for us yesterday! We were asked to bring two names/addresses to the meeting yesterday, and Debbie gave us cute thank you cards so we could take a minute and say "thanks" to someone in our lives. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I was so inspired, I came home and wrote out SIX more! If you didn't get a chance to do this yesterday, try to do it this weekend. Gratitude is a lost art, and there's all kinds of research out there about how showing gratitude and just the act of being grateful can improve a person's life. I'm all for life improvement, and this is something that will make someone else smile, too. What a win-win!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend--there's lots going on around town already as people start preparing for the holidays. There are craft shows semi-locally for the next two weekends, and check out the sidebar for more upcoming events for MOPS and around town. If you have something to add, just post a comment!
Thanks to all of you for reaching out and being a part of MOPS. Thanks to those of you who put hours in every week to ensure that we HAVE a MOPS group. And for our friend in need right now, know that we are praying for you and for your whole family--God is awesome, and He can do ANYTHING!
