Story of the Day
It started to get cold. In fact there was a couple of nights I thought we weren't going to make it. But then we had a few days when it was warm. So we decided to stay. But at some point, maybe a couple of weeks later it got cold and stayed cold. We knew at the first few nights that this time was coming. But instead of complaining about it we stuck it out to the end. Now the time had finally come. Each morning we still sang praises to God. We sang praises in unison with all the variety of birds in the forest, but our time had come. No complaints about the cold. Our time had come to move on. So we flew. We were never sure which way to fly. Our temperature compass led us to warmth. We flew to the warmth and love of the sun. No complaints here, just love for one another and love for the warmth of the sun. Finally, one night, then two and three, we found a place that stayed warm. In the warmth of the sun, we knew we were now home. Home for now, in the warmth of the sun. Each morning we sang praises to God in His warmth and grace in unison with all the variety of birds in the forest.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, hear my complaints. Here my song of sorrow and pain. Yet also hear my song of joy and praise for the warmth and the love of Christ Jesus, whom You graciously send to me each and every day. As I walk in His warmth and love, let my complaint dissolve into loving action for my neighbor, each and every day. ---Amen
