“The first thing I want you to do is pray.
Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be
quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation.
This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.”

-1 Timothy 2:1-3 [Message]

A Time to Think… “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” ―Maya Angelou, American memoirist, poet, civil rights activist and devout believer in God

A Time to Act… Today, decide to extend your love, share a story, give someone a smile. This will liberate your soul to joy and generosity and it will also liberate the one you share with. It’s like a “God-graced-boomerang!”

A Time to Pray… O loving God, I get so swept up in my own life I’m like the Ostrich whose head is stuck in the sand. I pray today that you fill me with concern for others. Give me strength to help them, the compassion to understand them and the determination to be the heart, hands, and love of Christ to them. AMEN.
