Devotional – August 15, 2025

From Winnie the Pooh (a wonderful theologian, I might add!)

“Some days,” said Pooh, “I don’t quite feel like myself. My body’s tired and my heart feels heavy, and even getting out of bed feels like a very big adventure.

But then I remember — it’s okay to be slow. It’s okay to hurt. And it’s even okay to be a little sad sometimes.

Because being brave doesn’t always mean doing something big. Sometimes, it just means being yourself… even when it’s hard.

Hope,” Pooh whispered, “is the little hum that keeps playing quietly when everything else feels still. And I think that’s worth listening to.”

Peace Be With You. – Paul
