Morning Offering: 09. 28. 21

Today’s Reflection: Dear God, I pray for your strength today as I step out into the world. Give me your eyes, so I can see all there is to see. Give me your ears, so that I listen intently for every morsel of instruction. Give me your heart, so that I can learn to be more compassionate.
Thank you for your grace and mercy which you hand out freely every day. Lord, wrap your loving arms around those who need it most today and give them your peace. In your name I pray. Amen! — Morning prayer.

Today’s Reflection: Show me your face, O Christ.
Bless me with encounter.
Reveal your glory in my tea, in my work, in my Bible.

Today’s Reflection: Take five minutes today to go outside and just sit still. Listen to the sounds you hear… maybe you’ll just hear cars, lawnmowers and radios… try to hear the sounds underneath that surface noise, the sound of the wind in the trees, birds singing and animals buzzing… take a moment to remind yourself about your connection to the earth and to all living things… how the trees will inhale our air and make it clean and healthy… how the rain will provide us with water and help to grow the food that sustains us…take a moment to be grateful for the air you breathe, the beauty that surrounds you and the earth that provides us with nourishment and life… — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Good and gracious God, I am grateful for your lessons in discipleship. You have challenged me to open my heart and to follow a path of radical love. Help me to listen more readily to those I tend to exclude, to those I may even fail to see. Help me to learn, even within moments of discord, to trust in you. I ask this in Jesus’ name, who welcomed sinners and walked with the marginalized and excluded of the world. Amen. — Bryan Sokol.
