TUESDAY

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.

Anyone who does what is good is from God.

Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

~3 John 1:11~

PRAYER FOCUS TODAY

Let’s pray for mothers who are home with their children all day, every day. Pray for them to have patient and understanding love each day. Help them to daily understand the importance of their job and the impact they have on their children daily.

OTHERS

Help us to care about and check on those we know who may not have sufficient ways of cooling their homes on days such as today. Record hot temperatures are especially difficult on little children and older adults.

Stay cool and hydrated today.
