Finding Devotional Moments Everywhere

These are some examples of the things I write in the Caring Community Letters each week. Perhaps you'll find some of them will remind you to notice when those “special moments” come, as they seem to do each day.

Watch a film:
As they said in the classic running story, Chariots of Fire, “Life is a grand race, and what are we but runners?” Scripture: Isaiah 40:31

Read a scripture:
In Psalm 139, David expressed conviction that his entire being was fashioned by God, and therefore it is worth acceptance. When you let God's love fill your heart, it will show on your face.

Read your devotional
There was a devotional about aging gracefully: “Wonder if God's favorite color is gray?”

Sharing
I heard the other day if your eyes are open when you need some rest .... Take care of yourself.

Newspaper Quips
Someone complimented me on my driving today. I found a note on my windshield that read, “PARKING FINE!” Was it you?
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”- Picasso


Radio Personalities
Mort Crim (WWJ) said, “If you fly a plane, you'll need the left wing and right wing to maintain a balance. Flying a plane is like being in politics.

Newspaper
Feb 16, 2004 Detroit Free Press Mort Crim column: How many American Presidents are NOT buried in the United States?

The answer was: Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush

Bible - Isaiah 40:31
Remember ... Life's race isn't always won by those who are out in front. Victory is reserved for those who wait upon the Lord. They are not weary who walk and do not faint.

Losers Never Win! Winners Never Quit!

“Can't” is a 4 letter word. What are you going to do about it? How about Isaiah 40:31?
