This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  There is no difference for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through redemption that came by Christ Jesus. – Romans 3:22 - 25

Dear Friends,

 

The old saying goes that spring showers bring May flowers and pollen and weeds and shrubs that need to be cut back and grass that has to be mowed and endless trips to Lowes for garden supplies and etc. etc. etc.  Seems to me that the same attitude gets expressed about summer, fall and winter.  Of course the tasks vary but somehow the attitude doesn’t.  Why is it that so often we view the changes of this world with disgruntlement?  We are always inclined to see the negative in what’s beautiful?  I’ve been thinking about that for a while now and I’m inclined to think the reason is because we don’t see God the creator in his creation.  I was watching a child the other day who was entralled over a dandelion and as he blew on it I could see the excitement in his face as it drifted through the air.  For me, it’s just another weed but for that child it’s an amazing wonder of nature.  Imagine what our days would be like if we had that same sense of wonder and excitement over what God has given us to enjoy!  I don’t know for certain, but something tells me our attitudes sure would change.  Maybe, just maybe, seeing God everyday in creation would change our thoughts about the world and our work and our families and clean water and breathable air and our neighbors, and ourselves and etc. etc. etc.

 

See you in church.

 

Peace,
