Her prayers were short and sweet , but carried a lot of meaning to the heavenly throne. Jo at 95 can still sing out a tune with a little help.

We pray her singing will bring you much happiness as it has done for us.

The Quiet Strength of Virtue
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about
such things.”
Philippians 4:8


Message
Virtue is not loud. It doesn’t demand attention or applause. Virtue is the
steady choice to do what is right—even when no one is watching. In a world
that often celebrates shortcuts and self-promotion, God calls His people to
live differently, guided by truth, integrity, and love.
Virtue shapes our character before it ever changes our circumstances. When
we practice virtue, we reflect the heart of Christ, who lived perfectly upright
not for recognition, but out of obedience to the Father.


Story
There once was a small-town shop owner known for honest scales. One day,
a traveler noticed that the shopkeeper added extra grain to his bag without
charge. When asked why, the shopkeeper replied, “My measure was light
once, and it bothered my conscience. I would rather lose profit than peace.”
Years later, during a famine, that same traveler returned as a supplier—and
chose that shopkeeper first. What seemed like a small act of virtue became a
door God used for provision and blessing.


Application
Virtue may cost us in the moment, but it always pays dividends in the long
run—peace in our hearts, trust with others, and honor before God.


Scripture:
“Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.”

Proverbs 16:8


Closing
Let us choose virtue daily—in our words, our work, and our walk with God.
When we do, we become living testimonies of Christ’s goodness in a
watching world.


Prayer:
“Lord, help us to love what is right, choose what is pure, and live lives that
honor You, even when it’s hard. Amen.”
