This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: Psalm 103:13–18

“Yes, we are weak, but the steadfast love of God spans time – it is from everlasting to everlasting. Our relationship with God carries this promise of ongoing love. And in light of our naked dependence and mortality, what a saving gift God’s steadfast love for us is!” –Mark Almquist-Murray, Fruit of the Vine

Query: How do you express your gratefulness for all the ways that God sustains you?


Five Minutes in a Garden

Five minutes in a garden and you

know it’s all God.

The daisies can’t deceive,

the roses can’t keep the secret.

We may call it a garden

but it’s really the one body

the one flesh

the only life there is.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
