My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Adam R Holz …  USE THIS LINK   … Tells how a coach of an American professional football player, Travis Kelce, in his youth, once told Kelce … in frustration … that everyone would become either a “fountain” or a “drain;” and at that moment Kelce was definitely being a “drain.”

And if we honestly took a look at each of our lives, … right now, … and if we took into account the truths shared above from God’s word, which would we be, …  a “fountain” of God’s love and grace or a “drain” … where God’s glory is being drained from how we interact and support others?   Personally I want to be a “God-fountain” of humility and kindness, as Tim McGraw sings in the linked song.  How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling me to be more like You today … and always.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, showing us, thru Your word, how to be more like You.    … Amen
