Psalms 113:1-9. Verse 7, what am I doing for the poor and needy at this Christmas season?
Isaiah 50:1-11. Verse 4, can I rely on God today to help me listen with loving attention and speak with truthful encouragement?
Phillipians 4:4-9. Verse 6, how will today be better for me than yesterday if it’s filled less with worry or complaining and more with prayer and gratitude?
Luke 1:39-56. What does Mary’s example have to teach me today about loving God and loving my neighbor?
