Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
Spend today practicing your memorization of the key verse.
Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
—1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

I’m so grateful for this plan ❤️
❤️
Amen❤️
So much gratitude for this plan, my first true physical book plan. It’s kept me grounded in several moments that could have done the opposite. It’s reminded me of all the guidance scripture provides. Grateful for what it’s done in my heart and mind.
♥️
So, will the As ent be available on the app? Thanks!
Can’t find the advent study! Is it just me?
FOSTER MAMA, CEE GEE is spot on when she says others in this community have faced similar situations. May you give yourself the same grace you would offer to someone else when they don’t pray as well as they should. On another note. I had so many people visiting in the last 2 weeks that though I read every day, I neglected to check in with the online group. I missed the devotionals and comments. Loved this study.
Thank you for your encouragement, my beloved sisters.❤️
And thanks for help with this morning’s devotional….I use my phone.

For those unable to find Day 1 Advent 2023 – like KELLY (NEO) the only way I could get to it was by clicking on Today’s Reading – upper right corner on my iPad & laptop, doesn’t show up at all on my phone though. Lots of confusion with the overlap of Give Thanks ending today & Advent 2023 starting today.
From Advent 2023:
Scripture Reading: Luke 2:30-31
By AMANDA BIBLE WILLIAMS –
My grandmother had five siblings: three sisters and two brothers, plus a collection of brothers- and sisters-in-law to round out the crew to a full dozen. The holidays of my childhood were highlighted by memories of them cooking meals together, sharing stories, singing by the light of the moon, and laughter—always laughter.
Our family lost the last of them this year, and my mom and I found ourselves immersed in my grandmother’s old photo albums. There in black and white stood the Sisters, as we call them, and a simple realization startled me. These wise, lovely, larger-than-life women from my earliest memories were not the otherworldly figures I always thought them to be. I couldn’t see it as a young girl, but now as a woman, not much younger than they were then, I can imagine the longings that must have lived underneath the laughter. Longings for painful relationships to be repaired, for ailing bodies to be healed, for deeply held hopes to become reality, for mounds of uncertainty to be overcome with surety. In my eyes the Sisters were strong and sure. But they were just like me, limping toward Christmas Day with an ache for restoration embedded in their hearts.
I’ve been thinking of them as we prepare for another Advent, how each generation is united to those before and after by a bones-deep desire for everything to be made right. We see it throughout the Old Testament as God’s people waited for the Messiah. We hear its echo in the New Testament as the early Church waited for Christ’s return. And we feel it still today as we remember the birth of our Savior and look forward to His promised return.
This is what the season of Advent is about: anticipating the birth of the One who meets every need. Jesus is the man from heaven who came to reconcile us to God. He is the bread of life who satisfies our deepest hunger. He is the King of the nations who brings the hope of heaven to the whole world. He is God with us, the only one worthy of our worship.
This is our twelfth Advent as a She Reads Truth community, and I’m thrilled that you’re joining us! Together we will celebrate the season with food and song. We will decorate and anticipate. We will read the ancient prophecies of the Savior and rejoice in their fulfillment. And we will look with hope to the promised day when every nation and generation will know full and lasting peace in the presence of Jesus.
O come, let us adore Him! For He alone is worthy—Christ the Lord.
FOSTER MAMA – Don’t be so hard on yourself; I am pretty sure most of us here have faced a similar situation in that manner. You spoke words that God can plant as you said. Love your tender heart! ❤
KELLY NEO – If time allows, would you please copy and paste the reading for today here? I googled advent 2023 and the page came up, but no reading listed, just comments about trouble with the app. I don’t see anything on this page as you did. Thanks! I am so ready to begin this study with y’all!!!
Love and prayers!
Amen!
FOSTER MAMA – ❤️
This morning the only way I could find the Advent Teading was to click on Today’s Reading. The website did not have the reading plan posted yet.
See you over at the Advent study that starts TODAY.
I’m sad this morning and asking God to redeem what I did. We had a big Christmas Party for all the foster families within our agency yesterday; I completely forgot (unlike me) that I had been asked to do the prayer before the meal until I arrived…being in a rush, I crafted something quickly without asking my Jesus to guide me….It ended up being overly theological and just…
I woke up this morning feeling that was a huge missed opportunity. I should have kept it short and focused on the kids not trying to have something for everyone. I should have simply shown those kids (many of him have been and/or will return to very difficult life situations) the love of Jesus and that they can always reach out for Him, in good times and bad, all through the year….
I’m rambling!!
Forgive me, my sweet Jesus that I didn’t pray for Your guidance with the prayer. Please implant what You see fit into those hearts, big and little.
Amen
Amen
