@cevreci_g @France24_en Please what is President Trump's role in the Mali conflict?

[CommonSensical @JoyCommonSense]

They're not happy people, or they would be grateful for their blessings.

The Obamas are criticized for being negative, victimized, and entitled, despite their immense success. I'm questioning their Christian faith and their example for children.

James 1:17 shines a light on a powerful truth: amidst life's many ups and downs, God showers us with blessings. Each new day, each answered prayer, each act of kindness – these are all gifts from our loving Father.

Today is an invitation to savor these moments of grace. Don't just rush past them; take a breath and find genuine joy in the laughter of a loved one, the unexpected kindness of a stranger, or a quiet moment of peace amidst life's chaos. These blessings remind us that God is not simply a distant giver but an active presence in our lives.

As we seek Him with open hearts, we discover an abundance of reasons to be grateful. These moments of gratitude are not naïve optimism; they're steppingstones of faith, allowing us to walk with hope through whatever life brings because we know the Source of every good gift is with us on this journey.

Ask Yourself

How can I slow down today and notice the small moments of grace I might otherwise miss?

Is there a specific way I can savor a gift I often take for granted?

PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.

[CommonSensical @JoyCommonSense]

@ScottforFlorida @POTUS It's about time.
Senate Republicans can complain all they like, the people support the Save America Act.

[Rick Scott @ScottforFlorida]

I’m with @POTUS.

It’s time we blow up the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act NOW. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

When doctors diagnose an intellectual or developmental disability, they should do more than deliver a diagnosis—they should provide families with a clear path forward. Too often, families leave that conversation without the guidance, resources, or support they need, and with more questions than answers.

Medical professionals can change that. Refer families to organizations like @bestbuddies and other disability-support networks that connect individuals and families to community, services, and opportunities from day one. No family should have to navigate a diagnosis alone.

Two hours. That’s how long it took Colombia to count 90% of its votes. Over 23 million votes.

@GavinNewsom, congrats. You are an embarrassment on the international stage.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
Psalms 103:11-13

Neo Cons hate Trump. They hate MAGA. Be wise. Don't get caught up in the MOU drama. Trump is pragmatic. He's not beholding to anyone, unlike Neo Cons. Trust Trump.

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

And accountability.

@nicksortor If Thune was a real leader he would be able to get all Republicans and a few Democrats to vote for this important bill.

Saucer of ruby, crown of gold,
Tropical trumpet, vibrant, bold.
Hibiscus petals open to welcome the light,
A day of pure color, sending boredom to flight.

[Church & State @ericschurchnst8]

Who thinks Congress should work to protect us and less emphasis on protecting what political power they possess?
For example, Democrats shutting down the government over an issue they don't like? Like letting FISA expire? We are expected to act like responsible adults, why aren't they?

[CommonSensical @JoyCommonSense]

This is disturbing and glad they caught it.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...Beecher noted Dan J. Sullivan had not registered as a Republican before launching his Senate campaign, had connections to Democratic allies of Peltola, and that he created a new website that used a “color scheme and overall theme” similar to the incumbent’s campaign materials.

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

Encouraging verse to begin the day.

[Eric Swensson @01IOTA]

Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Lord, your light is forever shining. Help us remember that in our darkest hours, you are always there to lead us, and your light will be our guide. Amen.

[Eric Swensson @01IOTA]

Happy Saturday, friends.
Good Morning to you
Give thanks to the Lord for this day.
Be evangelistic!

Daily Prayer for June 13
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

"I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly" (Psalm 40:10).

Lord our God, in the grace of Jesus Christ we turn to you, our Father in heaven and on earth, for we know your truth and your saving power. Grant that all may learn to look upward to you in faith and in trust that your will is being done on earth, even though so much seems to be the work of humans alone. But your will is behind everything and we put ourselves under your will. We hope in your will. In your will we are certain that everything will be made right and good, to the glory of your name. Amen.
