Ending The Day With Luke

Posted on by Leave a comment

For my advent devotional this year, I wanted something different. Books by Spurgeon, Tripp, and DeMoss Wolgemuth were all considered. But yesterday this idea was on one of the websites I was reading (not sure which one). Every evening, read 1 chapter of Luke. There are 24 chapters in Luke, which means you end on Christmas Eve.

(NIV)

Every night after work, my routine will be to put my computer to sleep, turn out the kitchen light, curl up in the living room chair with a blanket and hot cup of chamomile tea, and read one chapter of Luke before bed. What a perfect way to decompress after being yelled at all day (retail sales). Trust me, there is no “peace on earth, goodwill towards men.”

Grab your blanket and a hot beverage and end your day with Luke as well.

May God’s word bring you comfort and joy this holiday season.

Birds In Trees

Happy last day of November!

When shooting photos the other day, I was struck by the contrast of the naked trees against the sky. Then the birds came to rest a spell before continuing their daily hunt for manna.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 6:26

May you find your manna today and every day.
