Praise Thursday

Helping A Stranger

Today, we reflected on a wholesome viral photo of an elderly couple helping a young man tie his tie in an Atlanta subway. In fact, Xochitl Dixon of Our Daily Bread took the moment as a reminder to strive to be “Loving Like Jesus”. We read her devotional today for Praise Thursday!

Here is that viral photo!

Today, Emma continued her devotional series “Well-Being” with this week’s addition, “Stewardship, Not Ownership”.

Congratulations to Julie from Frazeysburg for winning this week’s “Name That Tune”! The song this week was “Good God Almighty” by Crowder.

Thanks for listening,
