Psalm 90:12  
Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts. (CSB)

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (NLT)

Word came yesterday that a dear friend was nearing death. He has battled a dread disease for quite a while. He peacefully slipped away around midnight, surrounded by those who loved him most. 

From the first time we met, he treated me with characteristic grace. His friendship has repeatedly blessed me for over fifteen years. A group of men who do the same kind of job around our area gathered almost monthly for several years for breakfast, conversation, and prayer. Glenn’s smile and sunny disposition enriched every meeting. 

Glenn was a man without pretense. He embodied deep joy. He laughed easily, loved extravagantly, and celebrated every good thing he heard from the men in our group. There are too few friends like him in this world.

Glenn made me want to be a better man whenever I was around him. 

As we gather for worship today, let’s give thanks for men like Glenn. Let’s pray for his family as they grieve their loss and heaven’s gain. Let’s look at our lives and ponder how we can shine God’s light in every conversation the way Glenn did. 

I will thank God for Glenn and learn from his gracious nature.

Our Father, thank you for men like Glenn. His life declares that your grace is real and builds us into better men and women. His joy is contagious. His laughter warms hearts. His prayers put steel in our spines. Thank you for a life well lived and a rest well earned. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
