“Let those who fear You turn to me,
those who know Your testimonies.

Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed”

Psalm 119:79-80

Thought today's icare meditation passage was quite apt in many ways.

From the man who speaks perverse things."

Proverbs 2:10-12

Tuesday's lessons were really hard-hitting and thought-provoking.

You are not a god created by human hands ( Read more... )

GRATITUDE

Today I stood at my window and cursed the pouring rain,
Today a desperate farmer prayed for his field of grain

The alarm went off on Monday and I ( Read more... )

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and sinning,
Here is a beautiful hope for you-
A hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed;
Yesterday’s errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterday’s wounds, which ( Read more... )
