Wednesday, January 14, 2026 – Poem from Joretta Klepfer’s “Just Pray”
Psalm 139: 23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and
know my thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead
me in the way everlasting.
Lord, I need your gift of listening today,
of listening to you through others’ voices.
Lord, I need your gift of discernment today,
of knowing the path you would have me take.
Lord, I need your gift of faith today,
of faith in your voice,
of faith in following the path where you lead.
Lord, I praise you today for your steadfast presence
within me.
Lord, I thank you today
for your love which never leaves me,
for your peace which steadies me
for the joy of being with you in Christ.
Amen

What is “magic”? AND
Who gets to decide what goes on that list?
I think my telephone is magic… Here is this “thing” on my
counter and it goes “ring ring”…. I pick it up and it is my
sister who is 200 miles away! That’s magic to me… Don’t
wear yourself out explaining to me the actual way it works…
It is magic… It’s magic…
There are lots of examples…
I can put the key in my car! Magic
I can turn on my TV and see “live” what is happening all
over the world. Magic again.
I can open the door on this big thing in my kitchen and
get COLD milk or ice! Magic
When I open the curtains and the sun is shining or it’s
raining or it’s dreary… Magic
When I mix hot water in a bowl and mix Jello crystals…
refrigerate and it turns into a solid! Magic
How did I find my sweet husband out of all the men in
the world? Magic again!
See… I believe God makes magic. Every day in every way…
He makes magic and sprinkles it on each of us!
God is magic.
God Bless Each of You! Amen
Wednesday, January 7, 2026 – “Holding on to God” from Daily Devotions
Isaiah 41:13 I am the Lord your God, who grasps your strong hand,
who says to you, Don’t fear; I will help you.
My granddaughter is just over one year old. She is standing and
taking tentative steps but has not yet tried to walk on her own.
When she wants to move from one spot to another, instead
crawling she will look around for someone she trusts and hold
out her hand. If one of us responds to her, offering our hand,
she will use it to steady herself as she stands and then will walk
with us to where she wants to go. She doesn’t walk anywhere
without holding on to the hand of someone stronger and steadier
than herself.
It is a wonderful thing to know that we don’t have to walk through
life alone. Whether we feel confident or unsure, brave or fearful,
joyful or sorrowful, God is always with us, strong and steady for
us to hold on to.

Good morning, from Mount Pleasant on this last day of 2025. When we face insurmountable situations and chal-
lenges, we often feel helpless and alone. But God never abandons us. We can find strength knowing that God is
bigger than any problem we face. Trusting this, we can have faith and keep moving forward with patience and a
positive mindset. Have a blessed day!
Saturday, December 27, 2025 – Poem by P. Williams
He nurtures us… encourages us to
grow… to watch us expand and
develop… to expect us to care for
others and ourselves… to cherish and
expect us to become the right person
full of hope, belief, and the ability to
feed our souls.
It seems like a big joy… but I find
I really just need to read and
meditate a bit every day.
God drops His Love and caring and wisdom
even when I ask the wrong
question. He leads me toward the right
goals for Me.
Thanks to God for looking out for each
of us every day and for teaching
us to close our eyes and open
our hearts to His words and love
and praise. He is always with us.
Amen
Wednesday, December 24, 2025 – Excerpt from “Unwrapping the Names of Jesus.”
A close study of the Gospels reveals that the most common title Jesus used for Himself is
“Son of Man.” When the Jews heard Jesus call Himself the “Son of Man,” their minds would
have immediately leapt to Daniel Chapter 7. In this prophecy, Daniel writes about the end
times, when “one like the Son of Man” will come with authority to judge the world. But this
title also refers to Jesus’ own humanity. Think of the humility Jesus endured in becoming
the Son of Man: God eternal and magnificent “made himself nothing by taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a
man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross!
This Son of Man was unlike any other son or daughter of man. Fully God and fully man,
Jesus entered our physical existence and experienced the joys and anguishes of being
human, yet without sin. What could possibly motivate Him to do this? Love. Have a
blessed day.
Saturday, December 20, 2025 – “Decisions and Choices” by P. Williams
You can op through life happy or Sad
It’s your choice -
No One else’s… No one controls that but you
Remember that happy or sad… Your choice
Each of us has many different choices
in life… Many happy… many sad, and
Many more. Every day “driveway” kind of decisions.
Today, embrace your choices
Hug the happy… Put your heart around
the sad… and cherish the everyday.
Thank God for your troubles… they give you strength.
Thank Him for your many blessings. They give you joy.
And Thank God for all of the “driveway” decisions for they
make up a large part of life.
Many Thanks God for Watching over me Everyday
and in Every Way as I make decisions and choices.
Amen
God Bless Each one of you.
