Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
Today's mailing is going out late today. Grandma Cybersalt and I are having a good visit in snowy Ontario. A few days ago our eldest grandson turned 13. I am not sure how that happened so fast, but it is a mystery I am grateful for!
Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

What Do You Want Me to Do?
One of the most profound questions Jesus often asked during His years of ministry, and still asks each of us today, is … “What do you want Me to do for you?”
Similarly, in our everyday lives, we often ask one another, “How can I help you?” This question reflects Christ’s own servant heart. While we may not perform miracles as Jesus did, we are still called to serve others in a Christ-like way. Our acts of kindness, whether small or great, are opportunities to reflect His love and character to those around us.
