December 7th – John 6:35
John 6:35 Every Christmas, I find myself in the kitchen making my favorite cranberry bread, filling the house with the warm, sweet smell of the baked goodness.

September 9th – Hebrews 12:1
Hebrews 12:1 Sin has a way of creeping into our lives like weeds in a garden. They’re small at first, but if left alone they spread and choke out what’s good.

September 4th – 2 Corinthians 9:6
2 Corinthians 9:6 Generosity is like planting seeds, and God reminds us that what we sow will one day grow.
