📜 Today in History & Heritage

1857: The world’s first soccer club, Sheffield FC, was founded — teamwork and unity remind us we’re stronger together when love leads.
1901: Annie Edson Taylor, a 63-year-old schoolteacher, became the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel — courage often flows from faith, not fear.
1929: Black Thursday — the first day of the Wall Street crash that led to the Great Depression. Even in economic darkness, faith, family, and love carried people through.
1945: The United Nations was founded, striving for peace — reminding us to be peacemakers wherever we stand.
2003: Concorde made its final flight, marking the end of an era in aviation — sometimes endings are God’s way of preparing us for something greater.

Every chapter in history points us back to timeless truths: God’s mercy is constant, His plans are steady, and His love never fails.

✝️ Christian Heritage & Reflection

Today, we honor Saint Anthony Mary Claret (1807–1870), founder of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He was known for his deep compassion, his passion for spreading God’s Word, and his unwavering faith despite persecution.

Romans 12:12 (KJV):

“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.”

Agape love keeps its eyes fixed on hope. It endures trials with patience, forgives quickly, and prays continually.

❤️ Today’s Agape Message: Love That Trusts God’s Timing

Today’s theme is Love That Trusts God’s Timing. Sometimes we want answers right now — but God’s clock runs on eternity, not urgency When we wait, He works. When we trust, He strengthens. When we surrender, He surprises.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV):

“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.”

💭 Reflection Thought: What is something I’ve been rushing God about? Can I surrender it today and trust His perfect timing?

Agape love waits well — not in frustration, but in faith.
