How do you begin your day? All of us have our daily rituals, which have a way of influencing the rest of our day. In her book, The Daily Grind: GOD With Your Coffee, author Susan Ward Diamond shares stories and reflections gleaned from years of praying and meditating early each morning over a cup of coffee. Begun as a personal spiritual discipline, Diamond began sharing her Thoughts for the Day with her congregation by email. Before long, her meditations had made their way around the globe, encouraging others on their life journey to experience Gods joyful, unconditional love each day. Sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, always honest, you will find yourself in the stories this pastor has to share. Story is the common thread that binds us to one another. As the great novelist Willa Cather said, There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before. Life is difficultin fact, at times it can feel like a grind. But when God is invited into the daily-ness of our lives, we begin to find a blend that is filled with a marvelous aroma! The Daily Grind: GOD with Your Coffee will be a great addition to your daywhatever time of the day you choose to read it.

Have you lost your joy? Life’s obstacles and disappointments can tempt Christians to lose hope and hang up their joy, just as the Israelites hung their harps upon trees by the rivers of Babylon. In Heartstrings, Jill Briscoe discusses eight “trees” that believers hang their joy upon, including grief, grudge and gloom. Through biblical stories and personal narrative, Jill reminds us that hope and joy can be regained when we allow the Lord to touch the heartstrings of our souls. Once this happens, we are able to sing a new song to God and the world.

A mom incapable of love. Multiple caregiving emergencies. Expensive litigation against false allegations. Betrayal, loss of all parents. Grief. Growth. Giving up control. Leaning on God. When you are raised in a dysfunctional family with a mentally unstable mother who should love you but doesn’t, you spend your entire life, sadly, trying to earn that love, until one day, you move her into your home in obedience to the fifth commandment. Within weeks, things start to go downhill, your mom’s condition (mental and physical) deteriorates, your sisters accuse you of elder abuse, and it isn’t long before the proverbial manure hits the fan. As if that isn’t bad enough, your in-laws have simultaneous health emergencies, then your dad, and you gain a new caregiving responsibility. Funerals, lawsuits, and betrayal—a perfect storm of catastrophes that would knock most people on their butts. But instead, it knocks you on your knees, and you find grace, God’s free grace.
