Building Healthy Families: So often we slip into the habit of living for the approval of others, which leads to frustration, disillusionment, and disappointment in life and relationships. Jesus was aware of this risk and reminds us In Matthew 6 not to do things for the approval of men. He assures us that our Father who sees and knows us inside out is the One who can and will meet all our needs, including our need to be seen, recognized, valued and loved. Whew! What a relief! Life begins to look different (and oh so much better) when we look through eyes of faith to our loving, gracious, living and forgiving God. Fix your eyes on Jesus - not your boss, co-worker, spouse, child or neighbor - and live in the light of His great love this week! Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org

 

When putting names on the prayer list we will keep them on there until you let us know that you feel you are ready to have them removed. Please let Linda know by Monday, if there are any changes. If we need to add someone during the week let us know, and we will send out an extra prayer request. Thank you for helping with this.
