🌞 Good morning, family and friends!

🌝 Verse for Wednesday, May 27, 2026

📖 James 4:10 NIV 😇 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up!"

✝️✝️✝️ Thought for today! 😇 "KNEELING TO RISE!" 😇 "Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self." These words from St. Francis reminds us that humility isn't weakness--it's freedom. When we kneel before God, we are released from pride, from fear, from the exhausting need to prove ourselves. In His hands, humility becomes the place where we are lifted into peace, joy, and love!

✝️✝️✝️ Let us pray 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 "Lord, quiet my striving and teach me to trust Your lifting hand. Let me rise in the freedom of Your love!" 😇 "Thank You, LORD, for another day, giving us once more a chance to become more like you. Continue to protect us each and every day from hurt, harm, and danger. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾AMEN!
