Mid-week Devotional:

Week of August 9, 2026

Welcome to the Mid-week Devotional for the week of August 9.

Scripture for this week’s devotional comes from the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, 3:1.

Hear the Word of God.

“3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:”

This is God's Word for God's people. AMEN

All throughout this past week my husband and I have been blessed with having time to spend with family; our siblings, our children, and our grandchildren. It has been a week filled with reminders that spending time with those within our family, our friends, and those who cross our path within our daily life cannot be replaced by silver or gold.

The memories that are created through our encounters cannot be taken away by hardship or pain. The memories are not created because we receive silver or gold. The memories are created and everlasting for they are filled with love and grace.

In the days ahead it is my prayer that you reach out to all those within your family, all your neighbors, and to all those you meet each day with words and actions filled with love and grace in order that they too may feel God’s loving presence through you.

Peace be with you.
