ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
October 8, 2020

Scripture
: Philippians 4:15-16
You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once.

Thought for the Day: There are times in life when we step from the fog that has dramatically limited our vision, and we find ourselves becoming aware of what had not previously been visible. Suddenly, we are much more aware of our place as recipients of other people’s generosity. One day you’re going along, thinking that all you have and all that comes your way is deserved. In fact, there might even be a hint of resentment that a few things have yet to show up. And then the fog clears, and you begin to see how little you really deserved. It was the grace, benevolence and kindness of others. My prayer today is for the fog of my own self-aggrandizing to be lifted that I might see how truly blessed I am.

Prayer: So much of my life is a collection of gifts given by others. Whether I ever know to whom my gratitude should be expressed, O Lord, I pray that a spirit of thankfulness is always within me. Amen.
