Keep Your Face Towards the Sun
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” — Walt Whitman
The weather forecast says it’s all sun today! So happy!
We all love sunny days, but sometimes the shadows from the past keep our hearts covered in gloom, and we waste a day in our life, that could have otherwise been beautiful.

Earth Day Prayer
“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.” Psalm 24:1-2
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for beautiful earth. What an incredible gift you left us! Help me today, and everyday, to care for it with tender loving care.
Amen
Happy Earth Day!
May You Sense God’s Presence
May you sense God’s presence with you along your path today.
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” —Psalm 16:11
