David's Daily Devotion for April 3

April 3, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, April 3.

I love history. I love historical novels and documentaries. And I love collecting, because every antique is a little piece of history. So, here's a profound thought. History, without "His story" is incomplete.

"Spring Is Here - Words of Wisdom" by Joan Garrett

March 30, 2024 - As the month of March ends, and April begins, it brings an old poem to mind.

March winds bring April showers that nurture May flowers.

The four seasons of the year are well known by everyone. Having come out of Winter with snow and cold weather in some parts of the country, we are happy that Spring begins in March with the culmination of windstorms experienced. Throughout the month of April rain is forever in the forecast with surprises sometime that it does not happen. However, one can experience small showers and the next day rainstorms occur.

"Diddler on the Roof" by Neal Murphy

March 30, 2024 - The phone call was received around dusk that summer afternoon in 1963. The caller was a neighbor who explained to my wife, Clara, that she was looking at a man on the roof of our house. I was watching television when my wife ran into the living room and announced that there was a man on top of our house. “What?”, I questioned, “someone on our roof?” All kinds of questions popped into my mind.
