Story of the Day
The bear knew where the honey was hidden. So he lumbered through the trees until he came to the tree trunk that had fallen on the ground. Inside of the hollowed out portion of the tree the bees flew in and out. Here was the source of the honey. Here was the nourishment the bear longed for at this time. So he let out a roar of excitement for this find he had recovered. A find that he had left alone for some time. A find that gave him sustenance for the day. In this honey the bear felt strength. In this find the bear lived on for another day. Day by day the bear would live. Moment by moment he would be cared for.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, care for Your people. Right us when we stray. Discipline us when we need discipline. Forgive our sinfulness. Sustain us with Your Food of life. Day by day may we exist to glorify and serve and praise You. ---Amen
