Wednesday, March 18, 2026 – Excerpt from “Uncovering the Love of Jesus”

Jesus, I praise You for Your love that crossed into my life one day, and every
day since then.  Thank You that human constraints can’t keep Your love out
and past sins don’t keep Your love away.  Thank You for loving me just as I
am.  Help me love others where they are, and seek them out with Your great
love for them.  Amen

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 – 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Every scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching,
   for showing mistakes, for correcting, and for training
   character, so that the person who belongs to God can be
        equipped to do everything that is good.

How often do I look to the scriptures for strength, guidance, and comfort.
    I seldom look to the scriptures for correction. 
   Maybe this is another opportunity to follow God more closely.

Saturday, March 7, 2026 – “Weather” by P. Williams

This time of year the weather can’t
   decide if we will have Warm or Cold

The sun is out…  then the sun is gone.
   Rain falls from the sky…  then there
   is none.  The temperature is 33 degrees
   then 73!

Whoever is in charge of weather must
   have been on vacation this year and
   I hesitate to guess anything about
   summer.

A few things we can count on…
   It will not skip Pollen season
   for a single minute.

First comes the yellow stuff which
   not many are allergic to…  then
   the major stuff starts and seems
   to last a long time.   Everyone
   gets a reaction…  to a little to a lot!

Some have full blown misery!

Then comes the short season…
   warm days and nights

Then we have unbearably hot
   24 hours a day…  Dry, sticky,
   hot, sweaty…  terrible.  Called
   summer.

So I will let you know now
   I am already looking forward
   to Fall!

O Jesus, You are the Giver of Life.   You speak, and the universe obeys.  And yet You see and care
about the smallest details of my life.  Nothing escapes Your notice.  Though You have every right to
be aloof from Your kingdom, instead You choose to be present with Your people and sensitive to our
pain.  Thank You for placing Your Spirit within me, to see, to know, and to care.  Help me do the same
for the people around me today.  Help me enter their suffering, carry their burdens, and bring the hope
of Your presence.  Amen

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 – Excerpt from Daily Devotions

Like our own homes, our houses of worship come in many styles and sizes — from grand cathedrals to one-room
chapels. They are all created as a gathering place for those who love God, where we can enjoy the fellowship of
the faithful, praise God, and gain strength and solace in times of trial. Jesus asked us to serve everyone with gen-
erous love, hope, forgiveness, and grace as members of the family of God. When we do, our own faith is recharged,
preparing us for sharing God’s love when we leave.
