Wow, what a Good Shepherd Sunday
Today’s worship, with preaching and teaching by Dr. David Anderson was incredible.
As I sit here this afternoon pondering thoughts before I get on an airplane, I once again realized that not only am I a sheep…I am called to be a shepherd…its not good enough to have sheep in a pen or (God-box) every Sunday…shepherds are with sheep out in the world, in their daily lives, in their homes, around their dinner tables, in their cars.
I am enlivened, envirgorated, and to be honest a bit scared of the task we have ahead of Renewing Hope, and renewing lives at home…but as the psalmist writes today, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’
Futhermore, I’m gonna explore this ‘fourth expression’ of the church…the home. Churchwide, Synod, Congregation, and home. Wow!
Things to think about. Blessings.
Dr. Anderson put the passion into the words that we read in the book study. Hearing him talk about his son-in-law and the power that each of us holds when we share our faith in small steps was incredible. Just think about how many times a day we have an opportunity to share the power and grace of God with our family, friends, strangers…
Hope everyone is starting their new tradition at home, whatever it may be, table grace, nightime prayers, caring conversations.
Peace
