PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

May the words we hear become nourishment for our souls and guidance for the living of our daily lives. Write these words on our hearts, O Lord, that we may be reflections of your truth and mercy. Amen.
 

Psalm 34:9-14

34:9 O fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want.
34:10 The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
34:11 Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
34:12 Which of you desires life, and covets many days to enjoy good?
34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Super Powers to the Rescue
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” Genesis 1:29 (NIV)

Did you know that some foods have super powers? It’s true. Many foods high in phytonutrients (plant compounds) are considered super foods. Super foods provide concentrated nutrients. Think of them as nutritional powerhouses. Super foods deliver by leaps and bounds beyond basic nutrition in terms of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients (plant nutrients) for stellar health benefits. You might be eating super foods already without knowing it. They are among the most health-promoting of all the foods you can eat. Visit danielplan.com for a list of super foods.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Freely we have received. Thus, we freely give: grace upon grace. Let us express our love and appreciation to God, by extending the grace and mercy of God to a hungry world. May these gifts truly become instruments of your purposes here in our church, our community, and around the world. Amen.
