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: Matthew 10:16–20

“Jesus was a great teacher. His disciples were not merely followers, they were students devoted to their rabbi’s teachings. When ready, they were sent out to share Christ’s radical, life-changing message of sacrificial love.” –Ruthie Tippin, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you discerning and compassionate at the same time?


52

The Spirit is a wonderful Mother

to offer such a marvelous world.

If you know her,

you will know her children.

You can be her child!

Live a life of love and peace,

and you’ll truly live.

Seek after riches and power,

you only find trouble.

Be humble, see clear,

be caring, know true power,

be still, let go,

be open to the Spirit.

You’ll gain eternal blessing.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
