Simple Gifts
I love this cover of “Simple Gifts” by cellist Steven Sharp Nelson. It speaks to me of life and love. On this Thanksgiving Day, let’s be grateful for all the simple gifts with which we are blessed.

Milton has come and gone (whew!). We were relatively unaffected, so we were blessed to be able to lend a helping hand to others.

Tailor Made
Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). A yoke
