This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: Luke 8:5–15

“Consider that God frequently uses real or apparent failure to build and enrich our lives. We sow the seed, and nothing seems to happen.” –Michael Graves, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Do you remember to walk in God’s light?


 

I still suffer from sunk cost

invested in you, real or not—

so I pray

you are better

than I was taught

less like war

more like wind

–Joann Renee Boswell, from “Prayer” in Cosmic Pockets
