Deeper Moments: Bill Elliff

May 29, 2026: Moments Almanac | Wonder

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] What do you do when the storms hit — not just in the sky, but in the soul? In this second episode of the Moments Almanac, we pause to remember those who are waking up this morning to damaged homes, uprooted lives, and weary hearts. Because in moments like these, compassion matters more than commentary. We also mark the birthday of G. K. Chesterton — born May 29, 1874 — journalist, novelist, theologian, and lover of paradox. More than anything, Chesterton taught people how to see. To find wonder in ordinary bread. Glory in ordinary days. Grace hiding beneath familiar things. In a world that never lacks for wonders but constantly lacks for wonder, his voice still speaks. Featuring reflections on Psalm 118:24, a lyric from the hymn Morning Has Broken, and a prayer for eyes that still notice the sacred ordinary. "The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder." — G. K. Chesterton

*Meditation: Gratitude | Psalm 34

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] In this guided meditation, we slow down long enough to notice the goodness of God that often goes unseen in the rush of everyday life. Drawing from Psalm 34:1, "I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips," this quiet reflection invites you to breathe deeply, release your burdens, and cultivate a heart of gratitude. Through Scripture, prayer, and gentle moments of stillness, you'll be encouraged to remember God's faithfulness in both joyful and difficult seasons. Whether you're beginning your day, taking a midday pause, or settling your heart in the evening, this meditation offers a simple invitation: to rest in God's presence and give thanks. Scripture: Psalm 34:1–8 Take a few moments to breathe, reflect, and rediscover the gift of gratitude. Scattered Moments is a quiet place for faith, reflection, and grace in the midst of a busy world.

On May 28, 1738, John Wesley attended a small gathering on Aldersgate Street in London and experienced what he later described as his heart being “strangely warmed.” That quiet moment of assurance would help ignite a spiritual awakening that shaped generations of believers across England and America.

Racing down hills with worn-out shoes and frightened parents nearby, he learned something early in life: fear makes us try to control everything. In this reflective episode of Scattered Moments, we explore the cages we build for ourselves — fear, perfectionism, people-pleasing, escapism — and the freedom Christ offers instead. Featuring Epistle to the Galatians 5:1, a quote from G. K. Chesterton, and the beloved hymn 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, this episode is an invitation to loosen your grip, trust the Savior, and embrace the wild grace of a cage-free life. Take care, Notice the Scattered moments and share the grace.
