Harvest

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James 3:17, 18 ESV)

My prayer is to faithfully sow peace and righteousness.

Lesson One

I need constant reminders, but one of the biggest lessons from my own health issues of the last couple years is that just because someone looks fine, it does not mean they are fine. We are all wearing masks in one way or another. The person who just cut me off in traffic may well be rushing to a bathroom, or perhaps taking a child to ER due to an allergic reaction. Sure we're all jerks, too, but I can choose to respond with compassion instead of irritation. I can empathize rather than criticize.

You Must Remember This

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:31, 32 ESV)
Lord, please help me do this. Today and every day.

New Every Morning

I see the sky painted pink and gold and azure, the bird on wing, and I say: bless the Lord, O my soul. Your mercies are new every morning.
