It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Thanksgiving Thursday
Black Friday
Small Business Saturday
Cyber Monday
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Fresh snow fall
Houses decked with lights
Santa at the mall
Advent candles being dusted off
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Oh, the comfort of traditions! :)
But what about your prayer life?
Comfortable in your traditions?
OK, OK...Pray for Trey Tuesday is a tradition...
But how do you pray for Trey (or anyone/anything else?)
In robotic, methodical tradition like hanging the decorations in the same place every year?
Why not mix things up this Christmas season?
"You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”
Mark 7:8
Jesus simply states: "This is my command: Love each other."
John 15:17(That
is certainly easier than keeping up with the Jones' traditional
inflatable yard decorations and Christmas light display, right?!)
Thanks for loving Trey enough to set aside time to pray for him and his treatments and healing each week! :)
Seek the heart of God that loves you so much - call it an early Christmas gift to you! :)
Let every heart prepare Him room...
It will be as if He answers:
All I Want for Christmas Is You.

Trey Tuesday - November 20, 2012
Overflowing!
Overflowing, oozing, bubbling and running over....
Made you think of post-Thanksgiving-dinner hot apple pie with ice cream and whipped cream, right!? :)
Well, actually I am thinking about Trey and cancer.
Paul in his letter to the Colossians teaches:
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him,
rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Colossians 2:6-7
Apple pie oozes apple goodness.
Cherry pie overflows cherry goodness. (all over my oven!) :)
What overflows from your life?
We can only overflow with what is inside!
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him,
rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
We overflow with thankfulness to Christ Jesus our Lord!
We overflow with thankfulness for Team Mitlo One and all prayer warriors and friends who pray for Trey and his treatments and his healing!
We overflow with thankfulness for Trey and Jay and Rachel and Joe and Bella as they teach us how to
live in Christ,
live rooted in Christ,
live built up in Christ, and
live strengthened in the faith!
So this Thanksgiving, (and beyond!) when it is your turn to tell the family what you are thankful for,
just don't think of one canned phrase to squeak out...OVERFLOW with thankfulness from a thankful, faith-filled heart! :)
"It is good to give thanks to the LORD"
Psalm 92:1

Trey Tuesday - November 13, 2012
Pray again!
Be honest with yourself....
What just went through your head/heart/stomach when you read those words?
A heavy sigh as you now realize what you forgot to do this morning?
A major guilt trip from a long lost habit or relationship?
Dread for the drudgery you feel at the Thanksgiving family dinner table?
Fear of the unknown?
Or are you like Trey?
Jay wrote a few weeks ago:
Tuesday afternoon – I just put Trey down for his nap and prayed for him…as always. Before I was done he said “pray again.” So I did. I thanked God that so many people pray for him, that so many people love him.
I can just imagine the warm, fuzzy setting....
Trey trusting Jay trusting God.
Like a comforting back rub when you can't lift one more muscle...
Like the relief of finally making it home after a long day...
Like the warmth of a genuine hug...
Like a reunion with a long lost friend....
Trey sighs..."Do it again, Daddy..."
It's that simple.
It's that simple.
This Trey Tuesday as we pray for Trey, try it.
Pray again!
"Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
Revelation 4:8
