Posted - Mar 13 2013 : 6:15:52 PM This year The National Day of Prayer will be Thursday, May 2nd. This may be an unusual exchange...but prayerfully many farmgirl sisters will sign up. We have farm sisters all across the nation from all walks of life. Everyone may not have the same beliefs or be of the same faith...but I think most of the farmgirls do believe in prayer. Each one of us needs encouragment and prayers from time to time. And so do our family...friends...communities...and the leaders of our nation!!!
Hugs and Blessings to both of my inspirations for this swap!!!
Connie(Killarney)thank you so much for being one of my inspirations. Thank you for your upbeat attitude in a not so upbeat world. And for being such a kind and loving Farmgirl Sister to all of us on the site!
Tiana(Hodge Lodge)even though you are fairly new to the site...you have jumped right in and been an encourager and great friend to all (especially me:):):)from the start. It is farmgirl sisters such as yourself that makes the MJF site such a pleasant place to be.
So...here we go:):):)
PARTNERS ARE AS FOLLOWS...
Connie(Killarney)-Denise(momof2jrt) Peggy Ann(LadyInRed)-Joyce(joyfulmelodies) Shelly(sassynrob)-Monique(monique) CJ(ceejay)-Judy(wildflower17) Teri(TeriSue)-Crystel(Pinkfarmgirl) Judith(forgetmenot)-Angie(britchickny) Darlene(darlenelovesart)-Sherry(sweettea59) Linda(prayingranny)-Beth(BethJones) Sandy(sandylee)-Deborah(buzznbee) Jenne(jennef)-Alissa(alissa) Janice(jantim)-Jeny(Mamzu) Laurie(laurzgot)-Mary(Madelena) Carisa(carisabunten)-Jeri(youngbunny)
Rules are simple and as follows:
Signups end April 12th. Partners will be posted by April 15th. Contact partners as soon as possible to exchange addresses. Mail out packages no later than April 24th.
Please send your partner a letter or card of encouragement. If you like you may include prayer requests. Send your partner a little token of encouragement...something they can keep to remind them they are in your thoughts and prayers. Some ideas might be a refrigerator magnet, an address book, small shelf critter, prayer journal, pretty pen and notepad, key chain, bookmarker, bracelet, etc...anything to remind them they are in your thoughts and prayers. If you choose to send something else that is fine...but try to make it something they can keep.
I hope everyone has a wonderful time with this swap. Thanks to all who sign up and to Connie(Killarney) and Tiana(Hodge Lodge) who helped bring this swap to life.
Blessings,
Judy

Joyce...I got the pkg today and was it ever worth waiting for!!! I love the apron!!! The beautiful homemade card, the Psalms 118:29 verse Plague, the Antique note pad, and last but not least The Little Red ??????? I'm sorry to say that I am not sure what they are. You will have to let me know how to use them. LOL I'm sure I'm the only one clueless as to what they are. And last but not least thanks for your prayers for me and my family. It was a JOY partnering with you. God Bless and Big Hugs, Peggy

Posted - May 05 2013 : 2:12:33 PM I would love to join this swap again next year too, The more we do prayer the more power goes out to work, and maybe we could pick a time where we could all be on line at the same time and pray some prayers together, with strength in numbers they will be stronger and we can pray for who ever is in need at that time together. blessings darlene

What a blessing you are to the girls on the site and what a wonderful example you are to your daughter. As you say...every day should be a day of prayer. I am not sure where I would be if it had not been for the power of prayer.

Posted - May 02 2013 : 3:08:10 PM Today is the "official" National Day of Prayer. I told my daughter, as I do every day, more than once, that I'm praying . . . Told her today that for me, everyday is a day of prayer and there is no exception to that. I pray! I've learned what a valuable tool that is and that it is POWERFUL BEYOND DESCRIPTION! GOD'S BLESSINGS to you all! CJ
