Remember the simple goodnesses of life as we approach the end of a bitter political season.

J.R.R. Tolkien (2012). “The Hobbit”, p.152, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
"Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."
– Hebrews 13:1-2
"The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man's history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy."

There is deep heaviness in the world right now and so much to be in prayer about — Israel, Gaza, Ukraine and more….Every life lost breaks the heart of God and every prayer offered to Him is another step in breaking the chains in this world.
Our God is bigger.
Our God is in control.
God can change ANYTHING.
God can change ANYONE.
God can change it ANYWHERE.
God can change it ANYTIME.
Let’s lift our prayers of faith to God. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect. James 5:16.
