June 4, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Churchill

Share Your ThoughtsOn this June 4 edition of Moments Almanac, we remember a day marked by both courage and contemplation.We begin with Winston Churchill's stirring call to perseverance during one of the darkest days of World War II. We then journey to the village of Bethany, where Martha and Mary remind us that while service matters, there is a "better part" found in simply sitting at the feet of Jesus.Along the way, we celebrate the birth of beloved poet Patience Strong and reflect on her beautiful words:"At the gate that swings between this world and the world above, stands the angel of God's mercy with the lamp of love."In a world that urges us to hurry, produce, and strive, today's episode offers a gentle invitation to pause, listen, and receive the mercy that is new every morning.Scripture: Luke 10:38–42; Lamentations 3:22–23Theme: Choosing the better part—presence before productivity.
