Greg Olson, Take My Hand Prayer Suggestion | We must know how to say, “Thank you”. Our  days are filled with the gifts the Eternal One  showers on us. If we were in the habit of taking  stock of them, at night we should be like a “queen  for a day,” dazzled and happy with so many blessings.  We should then be grateful to God, secure  because God gives us everything, joyful because  we know that every day God will renew God’s gifts.

Today: Background on Galatians Tuesday 2/23/2021 : Galatians 1 February Assignments Calendar +++ Edwards has asked us to pause and read the Letter to the Galatians. In his way of thinking, this letter is the first piece of Christian literature that was written. Other scholars would place 1 Thessalonians as the first.
