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: 1 Peter 2:9–10

“To be chosen gives us the feeling that we are good enough, and we are wanted. This is reality for all of us in the family of God” –Maurice Roberts, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Do you remember that you have been chosen?


51

Our life emerges

from Mysterious Source.

Alive, we

are nurtured by goodness

When we join with this Way,

we nurture others.

We offer shelter

and protection

for the weak.

We offer support

without possessing.

We help

without controlling.

We give,

expecting nothing in return.

This is love—

virtue in action.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
