“As you serve the Lord, work hard and don’t be lazy. Be excited about serving him! Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time.  Share with God’s people who need help. Look for people who need help and welcome them into your homes.” -Romans 12:11-12 [ERV]

A Time to Act…
“Unwrap the hidden beauties in an ordinary day.” -Dr. Gerhard Frost, author, speaker, Bible teacher, and seminary professor at Luther Northwestern Seminary

A Time to Think…
God gives us 24 hours a day, time to sleep, time to wake up and the time in-between to work, play, and find the joy of living. So, no matter what comes this day, be determined to find joy where and when it surfaces. This is a wonderful gift God gives you!

A Time to Pray…
Dear Lord, please help me to see the beauty of every day. In our society it is so easy to see the bad rather than the good. May our eyes be captured by the creation you have given us. May our eyes be looking for those who need joy and a dose of hope. May our eyes be on you, Lord, that we may share your joy to a joyless world. AMEN.
