Acceptance is resting in God’s goodness, believing that He has all things under His control.
From Proverbs 16:9: “The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.”

Changing Melodies (Haiku Series #288)
Serenity’s Place
Window’s morning view
Feeling pull of forest’s tune—
Heart breathes harmony
Infinity’s View
Sunset’s gentle breeze
Turning heavenly pages—
Endless horizons
Kaleidoscope’s Captures
Summer soon fading
Waiting for autumn’s return—
Filling with color

The innocence of a child encourages us to stay true to the child who still fills part of our own hearts.

Golda Meir Quotes
Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you’re aboard, there’s nothing you can do.
If only political leaders would allow themselves to feel, as well as to think, the world might be a happier place.
Golda Meir (1898-1978) was Prime Minister of Israel from 1969-1974. She was and has remained Israel’s only female head of government.
Monday Memories: Follow His Road Map
From Proverbs 30:5: “Every word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.”
Feeling weary and lost
How can any prevail?
Desolate road ahead
Actions will surely fail
Lost in darkness of life
Our Father lights the way
Filled with His righteousness
God’s road map saves our day
Our Lord’s Word speaking truth
Daily meditation
Bible’s meanings ring clear
Leading to salvation
Study God’s Holy Word
Share its hope and Good News
Trusting each promise
His commands, we must choose
Inhale, breathe it all in
Fed by the “Bread of Life”
Quenched by “Living Water”
Transforming daily life
From the words of American-born missionary and Christian theologian, E. Stanley Jones: “The Gospel is not so much a demand as it is an offer, an offer of new life to man by the grace of God.”

It is so vital that we become still and let God be God. When we take life’s junk to Him, we shall feel His transforming spirit.

Oswald Chambers Quote
So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.
From Psalm 25:12: “Who are they who fear the Lord? He will teach them the way that they should choose.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Love’s Lasting Imprint
From Psalm 9:1-2: “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”
Singing highest praises
Receiving daily gifts
Blessings from Savior’s breath
Steering man from sinful drift
Witnessing blood-stained cross
Declaring Christ, our Lord
Rising from darkened tomb
Crushing evil’s sinful sword
Suffering no longer
Driving fear from each heart
Warming to Heaven’s light
Forgiving sins, life’s fresh start
Trusting in God above
Giving thanks for His grace
Bringing faith renewed strength
Erasing sin’s dark embrace
Sending peace down to earth
Designing joy’s blueprint
Raising new hope through truth
Marking love’s lasting imprint
From Psalm 9:9-10: “The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

The Lord’s quiet refuge will always provide His safe shelter. Nothing of darkness shall penetrate His sanctuary of light.

Max Lucado Quote
We love to be with the ones we love. So does God. How else do you explain what He did? Between Him and us there was a distance, and He could’t bear it. So He did something about it.
From Philippians 2:6-8: “Who, though he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, assuming human likeness. And being found in appearance as a human, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.”
