I sat next to a homeless man at church, and he surprised everyone by giving his last dollar. The moment reminded me of Luke 21:1-4 and the widow who gave out of poverty. I want to live with that same courage and generosity. What about you?

My Oura Ring tells me to rest, and I’m trying to listen. I’m in a new city trying to hit restart. How do you make yourself rest and renew? Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV): “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Psalm 62:1-2 (NIV): “Truly my soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.”
Psalm 23:1-3 (NIV): “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.”
Exodus 33:14 (NIV): “The Lord replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’”
Psalm 4:8 (NIV): “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Isaiah 30:15 (ESV): “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
Mark 6:31 (NIV): “Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’”

While traveling and at home, I see a particular race of people treat Blacks unfairly. I hope this prejudice fades with time. A few scriptures relating to equity. Core Biblical Verses Promoting Equality and Unity
Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”.
Acts 10:34-35: “Then Peter began to speak: ‘I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right’”.
Genesis 1:27: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them”.
Revelation 7:9: A vision of a multitude from “every nation, tribe, people and language” standing before the throne, showing diversity is part of God’s plan.
Colossians 3:11: “Here there is not Greek and Jew... barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all”.

Set boundaries and don’t tolerate abuse. In the teachings of Jesus, the concept of turning the other cheek is about embodying humility and seeking to win others over to
Christ through non-confrontational means. The scripture in 1 Corinthians 7 advises staying with an unbelieving partner, as there is potential to lead them to Christ. However,
it& #39;s important to note that the Bible does not provide an example of a spouse tolerating emotional or any other form of abuse.

Paris street art. Racism exists all over the world. God does not show favoritism. Why do we? “Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” Acts10:34-35.

Doesn't this photo just celebrate spring? When I was in Amsterdam, it brought to mind the benefits of movement, health, and the importance that is also found in aesthetics and creation. So this week, be sure to get out and move in nature. Buy that bouquet of daffodils or tulips at the market. Rent a bicycle. It doesn't wonder for both mental and physical health!

Couples, this is a simple conflict technique you don’t hear about often. A great way to work out conflict. How to solve an argument.

Some days it's good to be claimed. Even if it's by your cats. 😽
