Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday!

Had a big day today, as I turned 60 years old today. 🥳

My brother had a beautiful bouquet of flowers sent to me.

Got cards, always so nice to get cards.

Then my nephew stopped in for dinner and cake after he was done at work.

Also had to take Moose to see his new vet today, a vet clinic that agrees with me that too many vaccines are probably bad. Switched vets due to the old vet brushing off my concerns of over-vaccinations.

Now Moose will only get the rabies preventing vaccine.

Busy day, and a good one.

Me and the nephew always joke that I turn a younger year on birthdays. He got me a card that features celebrating a Happy 30th this year. 🙃

Will You Still Love Me?

Read: Romans 5:6–11

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Ten-year-old Lyn-Lyn had finally been adopted, but she was afraid. In the orphanage where she’d grown up, she was punished over the slightest mistake. Lyn-Lyn asked her adoptive mom, who was a friend of mine: “Mommy, do you love me?” When my friend replied yes, Lyn-Lyn asked, “If I make a mistake, will you still love me?”

Although unspoken, some of us might ask that same question when we feel we’ve disappointed God: “Will You still love me?” We know that as long as we live in this world, we’ll fail and sin at times. And we wonder, Do my mistakes affect God’s love for me?

John 3:16 assures us of God’s love. He gave His Son, Jesus, to die on our behalf so that if we believe in Him, we’ll receive eternal life. But what if we fail Him even after we place our trust in Him? That’s when we need to remember that “Christ died for us” even when we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). If He could love us at our worst, how can we doubt His love today when we’re His children?

When we sin, our Father lovingly corrects and disciplines us. That’s not rejection (8:1); that’s love (Hebrews 12:6). Let’s live as God’s beloved children, resting in the blessed assurance that His love for us is steadfast and everlasting. — Karen Huang

How does understanding God’s love for you strengthen you to obey Him? How does it impact your view of sin?

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your steadfast and unchanging love.

Bible in a year: Isaiah 41–42; 1 Thessalonians 1

Baby Boy

Read: Deuteronomy 10:14–22

[God] defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you. Deuteronomy 10:18

For more than a year, his legal name was “Baby Boy.” Discovered by a security guard who heard his cries, Baby Boy had been abandoned—hours old and wrapped only in a bag—in a hospital parking lot.

Soon after his discovery, Social Services called the people who would one day become his forever family. The couple took him in and called him Grayson (not his real name). Finally, the adoption was complete, and Grayson’s name became official. Today you can meet a delightful child who mispronounces his r’s as he earnestly engages you in conversation. You’d never guess he’d once been found abandoned in a bag.

Late in his life, Moses reviewed God’s character and what He’d done for the people of Israel. “The Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved them,” Moses told them (Deuteronomy 10:15). This love had a broad scope. “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing,” Moses said (v. 18). “He is the one you praise; he is your God” (v. 21).

Whether it’s through adoption or simply through love and service, we’re all called to reflect God’s love. That loving couple became the hands and feet God used to extend His love to someone who might have gone unnoticed and unclaimed. We can serve as His hands and feet too. — Tim Gustafson

How have you sensed God extending His love to you in ways large and small? What small thing might you do today to reflect that love?

Heavenly Father, have mercy on the fatherless. Help me to be Your hands and feet today. 

Bible in a year: Isaiah 43–44; 1 Thessalonians 2
