My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, John Blase -  AT THIS LINK  -  writes of best-selling  Author, George Saunders, delivering the 2013 Commencement address to the graduates of Syracuse University on “What Do I Regret,” which mainly focused on not helping others when he had the opportunity to do so in life.     

When you, my readers, and I, reflect on our past, do you, as do I, remember times when we could’ve followed a more Christlike pattern of living than we did?  All of the passages from God’s word above … (see Scriptures cited), … as well as the linked song by Tim McGraw, lead us to follow and share GODLY words and choices which reflect Christlike humility and kindness.  So, perhaps you, like I do today, are seeking to become more like our Lord as we encounter and share life with others … today and forward into the tomorrows of our lives.                                                                          

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me, thru Your word, Lord, to seek to do more to live for others as You lived and died for us.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, …to seek to humbly share Your love and grace, Lord, with others today.      … Amen
