April  •  Day 26

Treasure the Years

Day 116 of 365  •  FAMILY

Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.

Proverbs 23:24–25 (ESV)

Proverb Truth

Life moves faster than we think. Children grow. Parents age. Seasons change. And one day we wake up wondering where the years went.

Because some of the things we thought would last forever turn out to be seasons. And that’s why gratitude matters so much. The game tonight. The dinner around the table. The ordinary conversation. These moments don’t stay forever. Which is why we ought to cherish them while we have them.

Jesus in Action

Even from the cross, Jesus thought about His mother. His love never stopped. And neither should ours.

Forged Wisdom

Musonius Rufus taught that gratitude deepens joy because it teaches us to appreciate what we have before it’s gone.

The No Limits Challenge

Tell someone you love how much they mean to you.

Prayer

Father, help me treasure the people You’ve placed in my life. Teach me to appreciate the gift of today and never take love for granted. Amen.
