“We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy.” -Colossians 1:11 [NLT]

A Time to Think…
While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation. -Maya Angelou

A Time to Act…
When your feet hit the floor today, take that big yawn, then smile at the gift of another day and what you plan to do with it, like lifting up another’s spirit! Remember, the more you give the more you receive from life.

A Time to Pray…
O God, thank You for Your glorious joy that inspires me to live generously. Help me to share that generosity and joy with those around me. There is nothing in all creation that doesn’t belong to You, so help me to see and care for each of them, people, critters, plants, skies—all that you have made and given in your perfect love. AMEN.
