Intercessor
Beloved of All
I used to wonder how wedding celebrations and feasts could last a week or more in the Bible (John 2:1), but not anymore. We have had family (and their friends) over at our place from ages of less than 1 year old, to 3, to 6, to pre-teen, teen and up to about 30s and even some grandparents of up to later 50s -- for six (6) days now... I am from the U.S., and we simply get together for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, possibly birthdays, big graduations, weddings -- then leave the same day. The exception is New Year's Eve where sometimes people stay over to avoid drunk drivers or drunk driving themselves. I ask for extended grace (have 1 sibling). I ask for grace to pray and read the Bible, open doors for the gospel (Eph 6:19), that God opens eyes and ears (Prov 20:12), draws hearts (Ps 110:3, Jer 31:3, Hosea 11:4, John 6:44, Acts 14:1, Rom 2:4, Rom 9:16) and for the fullness of The Holy Spirit (John 20:21-22, Acts 19:5-6, Eph 5:18-19). I also ask that the place stays nice, that people wipe their feet before coming inside, flush the toilet rather than using a bucket of water and thus soaking the bathroom floor, and for grace to relax in my own household (Acts 16:31-32). Grace to be a good host. That everyone would be safe, open to the gospel and Christ, and be thankful for food, fun and fellowship. I ask we could watch movies together, sing good karaoke songs and party in a healthy, clean way -- Filipino Style. Safety driving for all who come and go (Ps 91:10-11). I ask in Jesus' Name to be filled with the Holy Spirit and find my wedding ring (Matt 7:7), not be too concerned with the particulars (Ecc 7:20-21). I do ask the children be supervised for safety and for the honor of God and parents (Ex 20:12, Deut 5:16, Eph 6:2-3). Thank you in Jesus' Name.
