The Trumpet Child by Over The Rhine (lyrics here)
all the readings for this day: Isaiah 11:1-10; Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19; Matthew 3:1-12
prayer for the day:
Take a walk through your neighborhood today. Be intentional about making eye contact and greeting each person you pass along your route. Notice when this is harder to do, and pray for the Spirit to enlarge your heart as a peacemaker.
