Colleen Christensen of Saskatoon made an unusual discovery while working in her garden. Wrapped around the roots of some lilies, she discovered a wedding ring engraved with the letters J & J 8/19/62. Although she is conducting an exhaustive search, she has not yet found the owner. It’s always a happy day when you find something you have lost isn’t it? But more serious than losing a valued object is when you lose such things as peace and hope for the future. While some things can be restored, only God can restore our souls. Remember David’s words in the famous 23rd Psalm, “He restores my soul.” He is indeed, “A friend who sticks closer than a brother”, and He can restore peace and hope to our lives. All we need do is enter into a personal relationship with Him by faith, and sincerely ask for restoration. Have you done that?

July 27 – Rollo May’s famous quote
“It is an old and ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way”, so said psychologist Dr. Rollo May. And philosopher Henry Thoreau declared, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” These words fit today’s world so well. Many run from their conscience, fears, past and commitments. They have tried and failed or have succeeded, some accumulating great wealth only to find it doesn’t bring happiness – running from one amusement to another, but still bored. Perhaps as you read today, you are on a quest – seeking answers, seeking peace. Jesus has promised, “My peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you.” Paul told us how to have that peace when he said, “Therefore since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
