Recently I did a marathon of errands. I usually have a list of errands to do in a trip, so I can be more efficient. As I drove down the road and stopped into Target, a variety of thankfulnesses came to mind: “Thank You for the errands I can get done. Thank You I can walk. Thank You for money to buy groceries. Thank You for clean water.” These are all little, everyday things in my life. But they would not be so little if I didn’t have them! With this burst of thankfulness came a burst of energy. My day is full of good gifts!

I’d like to invite you to join me in reading Luke the next few weeks! For me, it’s meaningful to think on the life of Christ in the weeks leading up to Easter. I like to read one of the four gospels at least once a year, because it gives us an excellent way to get to know Jesus. We come to know him and learn from him as we see his actions, hear his words, and gain a sense of his heart for God and people.
By starting now, we can read about five chapters a week for five weeks (there are 24 chapters in Luke). Then the readings for his death and resurrection will line up close to Easter!
