Scripture: Ps 119:145-176; Ps 128, 129, 130; Jer 25:30-38; Romans 10:14-21; John 10:1-18
Scripture standout: John 10: 3 "He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out."
Morning thought: No matter how old you are, it is a wonderful thing when a parent calls you by name. I'm not talking about the first-middle-last kind of name calling that you might have gotten as a child in trouble. But I'm thinking of that wonderful, familiar, spot-on tone of your parent saying your name — calling you, seeking your presence. It's such a safe sound, in most cases. My mom died nearly 20 years ago, but I still remember the way it felt when she said my name. And still, just thinking about it makes me want to run to her, do right by her and just snuggle in.
