NINETEENTH DAY EVENING MOST gracious God, i rejoice in the love you have shown to our poor human race, opening up to us a path of deliverance from our sin and foolishness. O God the Father, praise you for your great and holy love. When we had utterly gone astray, you diligently sought us out and saved us, sending your beloved Son to suffer and die so that we might be restored into fellowship with you. O God the Son, I praise you for your great and holy love. You humbled yourself for the sake of me and all people; you shared in our common life; you dwelt in the midst of all our sin and shame. You endured all the bitterness of the passion and died at last on the cross, so that we might be released from the shackles of sin and enter with you into the glorious freedom of the children of God. O God the Holy Spirit, I praise you for your great and holy love. You daily pour into my heart the peace and joy of sin forgiven, so that I may share with all the saints in the blessings of my Lord's incarnation, of his passion and crucifixion, and of his resurrection and ascension to the Father's right hand. O holy and blessed Trinity, help me to dwell so fully in the mystery of this heavenly love that all hatred and malice may be rooted out from my heart and life. Help me to love you, as you first loved me; and in loving you help me also to love my neighbor; and in loving you and my neighbor help me to be saved from all false love of myself; and to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be all glory and praise forever. Amen.

“O holy and blessed Trinity, help me to dwell so fully in the mystery of this heavenly love that all hatred and malice may be rooted out from my heart and life.”
John Baillie (1886-1960)

COVID-19 in Pregnancy Linked With Neurodevelopmental Disorders This Medical News article discusses new research indicating that children whose mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy were more likely to be diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder by age 3 years...

If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95.

Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications.

There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air.

More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus.

Mask up.

Staying away when sick, testing before visiting an expectant mother, and always wearing respirators (N95 or better) around pregnant women and in places we are likely to encounter one—
These are such minuscule prices to pay to give these little ones their best start in life.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Highlights • In utero exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 Virus resulted in altered neonatal brain volumes in the regions of the cortical and subcortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, and the left hippocampus. • Changes in cortical gray matter mediated deficits in cognitive scores at two years of age in children who were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in utero. • Cognitive scores mediated an increase in anxiety scores at age two for children who were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in utero.

Unborn people made in God’s image, dependent on others to care and make decisions for them, have been and are being harmed by SARS-CoV2 infections. One more reason to mask: to avoid harming expectant mothers and their unborn children. Harming these little ones grieves the heart of God.

Further Up and Further In a poem and an invitation

One final poem for 2025 and an invitation to join me in seeking the Lord through Bible reading in 2026: “Further Up and Further In”

#OneOfTheTwo still masking

Thanks to consistent wearing of N95 or KN95 mask, I have not had any communicable illness since March 2020. This has improved my chronic illness baseline and enabled me to enjoy the outdoors with fewer allergy and asthma issues. I only wish I’d known to wear them sooner.

So sorry for your loss. We never stop grieving our mums. 💔🫂🙏🏻

A Christmas Prayer for Those Who Feel Invisible O Sovereign King,

May the fellowship of the Triune God enfold you in His love today and always.

Praying this for you

open.substack.com/pub/crumbsfr...

If you are alone today and wish you weren’t —
Estrangement from family,
Chronic illness and disability,
Finances prohibiting travel,
Refusal of accommodations essential to your safety,
Old age—
God sees.
God knows.
God hears desperate cries.
If you are in Christ, you will never truly be alone.

🥰🤗

On Winnie-the-Pooh’s 100th birthday, read the very first story Hundred Acre Wood has captivated imaginations since appearing in a newspaper on Christmas Eve 1925. Today we reprint the first tale and Johanna Thomas-Corr pays tribute

Happy birthday to my favorite bear!

Outdoor street scene with three adults wearing respirators (N95-style) and winter clothes, standing at a table with open boxes. One person holds a cardboard sign that partly reads “FREE … STAY SAFE.” Large light-green headline text overlays the image. Full text on image: “Tell us about your COVID-conscious community. What COVID conscious resources, businesses, groups, etc. exist in your community that make it easier to live your life free from COVID infection?” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Tell us about your COVID-conscious community.

What resources, businesses, groups, or individuals in your area make it easier to live your life while reducing the risk of COVID infection?

If you’re traveling this holiday season, please wear a mask.

Flu and Covid are both surging. No one wants to be sick for the holidays.

A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you.

Give yourself (and others!) the gift of good health this year!

How to be (and make others) sick less often No one enjoys being sick, not even with a common cold -- let alone with a serious flu, stomach bug, or COVID. No one wants to make others sick either. Fortunately, we have tools to fight viruses.
