LIVE in GRACE, WALK in LOVE 1-50

 LIVE in GRACE, WALK in LOVE 

Numbers 1 - 50

My morning devotions for MOST of this year will be based on Bob Goff's newest book, 

Live in Grace, Walk in Love - A 365 Day Journey

I really enjoy Goff's easy to understand analogies and stories.  He makes living our faith simple (well, not really!) and clear.  No big theological words or philosophy.  Just plain LOVE.  Most of the text on the daily prayer is taken directly from the book.  All speech bubbles are my own words. 

I will be taking a break from Goff's book for Lent and Advent.

Note the logo in the upper right corner beginning with today's prayer.  This is my reminder visual image of a haiku I wrote during my cousin Lorrie's 2021Ku online class.  It is a reminder
for me to daily put love into practice.  The full haiku reads:
PRIORITY CHECK
Review intentions
Walk prayer path - Pursue practice
of love in action

LET US LIGHT CANDLES - ADVENT / CHRISTMAS 2020

let us light candles 

Matthew 25 and the Work of Advent

Presbyterians Today Advent and Christmas Devotional 2020

My Advent devotions for the eventful year 2020 are based on Howard Thurman's Poem, "I Will Light Candles This Christmas".  The devotional is published by the Presbyterian Church and includes the current thrust to put Jesus' mandates in Matthew 25 into real, life-changing practice.  

WEEK ONE: "Candles of JOY despite all the sadness..."

WEEK TWO:  "Candles of HOPE where despair keeps watch..."

WEEK THREE:  "Candles of COURAGE for fears ever present..."

WEEK FOUR:  "Candles of PEACE for tempest-tossed days..."

CHRISTMAS EVE:  "Candles of GRACE to ease heavy burdens..."

TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS:  "Candles of LOVE to inspire all my living..."

EPIPHANY:  "Candles that will burn all year long."
