Today is the International Day of Charity — a day set aside to celebrate compassion, generosity, and service to others.

Established by the United Nations in 2012, September 5 was chosen in remembrance of Mother Teresa, whose life became known around the world for service to people who were poor, sick, lonely, and in need.

For Christians, charity is more than simply giving. It is seeing Christ in our neighbors and responding with love — through our time, our resources, our encouragement, and our care.

Jesus reminds us:

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40

On this International Day of Charity, may we pray:

Gracious God, open our eyes to those who need our care. Give us generous hearts, willing hands, and the wisdom to recognize the opportunities you place before us to serve. May our giving reflect your love, and may even the smallest act of kindness bring hope to someone who needs it. Amen.

May we at First DeSoto always be people who make room to give, serve, and love.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

For generations, dogs have earned the nickname “man’s best friend” through their loyalty, companionship, and seemingly endless capacity to bring joy into our lives.

National Dog Day was founded in 2004 and is celebrated each year on August 26—not only to celebrate the dogs we love, but also to encourage care and compassion for dogs still waiting for loving homes, and those in harm's way.

Scripture reminds us that caring for God’s creatures matters: “The righteous care for the needs of their animals.” — Proverbs 12:10

Today we give thanks for the faithful four-legged friends who greet us at the door, walk beside us through good days and difficult ones, and somehow become a beloved part of the family.

All creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all. 🐶❤️

Happy National Dog Day from First United Methodist Church of DeSoto!
