Clothe Yourselves

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another ... forgive each other ... Cloth yourselves with love. (Colossians 3:12-13,14)

Books & Reading

Spiritual reading is, or at least can be, second only to prayer as a developer and supporter of the inner life.  Evelyn Underhill

God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.  William Ellery Channing 

The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed oil for the lamp of prayer. Hannah More

Peacekeeper

Lord, help me be the peacekeeper, never the one who stirs up more anger.
Help me be an example to my whole family. Amen

His Presence

Through the kindness of a stranger.
The majesty of a sunset.
The mystery of romance.
Though the question of a child or the commitment of a spouse.
Through a word well spoken or a touch well timed, have you sensed His Presence?
(Max Lucado, Grace For The Moment, Vol. II, 30 December)

Beauty

Creator God, in you we live and breathe and have our being.
Let the beauty that surrounds us in all your creation be a continuous reminder of your power and your love. Amen.
