Send it to me. That's my favorite kind of day. I can really nap when I hear raindrops on the window pane.

I wish.

We did have a bit of a drought last month so I suppose I should be grateful.

[luvie]

We’ve had a drought all year. It gets really old. I get tired of seeing the sun and the heat.

It’s all perspective. LOL!

I know. It has been awful for the Southwest.

Hi All! No rain here until maybe next Tuesday. Very nice again today. Weeding a very weedy lily garden the past 2 days. Ground was hard yesterday so I drenched it, hated to water the weeds, but today I am able to get the weeds out of the dirt. 😅

Oh I want that pup!!!! LOL

I LOVE rainy days....and we have been in a drought for so long here in La Verne, California!!!

Today’s devotional meant a lot to me. Losing hubby last year after being married for 62 years was difficult. BUT GOD has comforted me and carried me when I could no longer walk the path.

Weeds love the rain. LOL.

Envisioning a Different Future

Read: Leviticus 25:35–37

Help them . . . so they can continue to live among you. Leviticus 25:35

The three hundred middle and high school students of the small town of Neodesha, Kansas, filed into a surprise school assembly. They then sat in disbelief upon hearing that a couple with ties to their town had decided to pay college tuition for every Neodesha student for the next twenty-five years. The students were stunned, overjoyed, and tearful.

Neodesha had been hard hit economically, which meant many families worried about how to cover college expenses. The gift was a generational game-changer, and the donors hoped it would immediately impact current families but also incentivize others to move to Neodesha. They envision their generosity igniting new jobs, new vitality—an entirely different future for the town.

God desired His people to be generous by not only tending to their own acute needs but also by envisioning a new future for their struggling neighbors. God’s directions were clear: “If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them” (Leviticus 25:35). The generosity wasn’t only about meeting basic physical needs but also about considering what their future life together as a community would require. “Help them,” God said, “so they can continue to live among you” (v. 35).

The deepest forms of giving reimagine a different future. God’s immense, creative generosity encourages us toward that day when we’ll all live together in wholeness and plenty. — Winn Collier

How does generosity meet immediate needs? How can it encourage you to also look further?

Dear God, I struggle with being generous in the most basic ways. Help me to see and act.  

Bible in a year: Isaiah 26–27; Philippians 2
