Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 9:1-6.
He summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal (the sick). He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them." Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.

Did you know?
When "enhance" was borrowed into English in the 13th century, it literally meant to raise something higher. That sense, though now obsolete, provides a clue about the origins of the word. "Enhance," which was spelled "enhauncen" in Middle English, comes to us from Anglo-French "enhaucer" or "enhauncer" ("to raise"), which can be traced back to the Vulgar Latin verb "inaltiare." "Inaltiare," in turn, was formed by combining the prefix "in-" with Latin "altus," meaning "high." Although "enhance" initially applied only to physically making things higher, it developed an additional and less literal sense of "to exalt especially in rank or spirit," and quickly acquired extended figurative senses for "raising" the value or attractiveness of something or someone.

God’s Gift
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his
father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As
Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had
purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father
called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to
have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young
man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he
raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a
Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book. He never
contacted his father again for long long time.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had
a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old,
and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that
graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram
telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to
his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he
arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.
He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new
Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and
began to turn the pages. As he read the words, a car key dropped from an
envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the
same dealer Who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date
of his graduation, and the words
"PAID IN FULL."
How many times do we miss GOD blessings because they are not packed as we
expected?
