I don’t know about you but October is wearing me out! When I open up my calendar it is crazy full and I just want a nap! Then I think about the season that is about to come upon us with Thanksgiving and Christmas it gives me some hives.
My perspective changes when I think what would I do if my calendar were empty? I would not be out and living among others. I would not be able to be the hand and feel of Jesus if I was sitting alone in my house. So, I want us to embrace our crazy lives and remember that we are not alone in this journey. We are not meant to be alone. We are called to live in community with each other, to love our neighbors as ourselves.
I love the opportunity to worship with you all in a community that is alive with energy and alive with the love of Christ!
I then take a deep breath and remember we do have time to stop, reflect, serve and praise our mighty and wonderful God.
We can do this in a family devotion time.
We can do this in our church service.
We can do this in our Small Groups.
We can do this as we are serving in the Food Pantry.
We can do this as we pray.
We can do this as we smile and greet a new face that is walking in the hallways on Sunday mornings.
I look forward to seeing all of your families at the Fall Festival this Sunday. It will be a great time of community and friendship. Just so you know Claire and I will be in the dunk tank from 6:30-6:45.
