1. The map marker / photo above is pointed toward the triangular shaped Rheba Liebowitz Square. New York City has fifty-four squares named after individuals. Some of these people are well known historical figures, such as John Jay (the first US Supreme Court Justice who also negotiated a treaty with Great Britain in 1794 to avoid war). Others are relatively unknown, even by Google, but yet they made a contribution that city residents deemed was significant enough to memorialize. Such is the case with Rheba Liebowitz. It seems she was Polish Jew (1916-1964) who was a community activist, but that is all that can be surmised from a Google search of her life. Likewise, many ordinary citizens are working to make a difference in their families and communities today. Pray that the Lord will bless the efforts of those who are working to promote His kingdom, even if little is known about them by the public in general. Jesus said that one day the Father Who sees what is done in secret will reward His children openly.
2. Pray for a firefighter who works in the above area to personally accept the offer of rescue that Jesus has made to escape the worst fire of eternity.

The Brooklyn Bridge Promenade extends the entire length of the Brooklyn Bridge. The iron railings of the promenade were cast by the same foundry that had previously made the iron dome for the US Capitol building in Washington, DC.
