Scripture standout:
Psalm 145: "8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
9 The LORD is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made."
he has compassion on all he has made."
Matthew 14: "16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
Morning thoughts: It's funny, I was just getting annoyed that I had to get another meal ready...and all I wanted to do is sit and have some coffee. Then this. Hmmm, I guess that's what good moms and dads do: they don't send anyone away, they give their children sustenance and food...three times and day-plus. Happy Sunday, and thank you David for sensing my coffee needs and making breakfast.
His Deed/The Day: Give them something to eat played into the deed today, too. We went to church and sat behind a nice family who was attending All Saints for the second time. After the service, we were talking and found ourselves whisked off to the Christian Eduction Building for a "Newcomers Lunch" Father Gee and Father Tom had planned for them and another new family. Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch! Next thing we know, we're enjoying a nice little lunch with these two families talking about all the things we love about our quirky little church. We were the only other people at the lunch besides the clergy and these two new families. It was a completely unplanned, unscripted occurrence, but it felt like we had a role in the meeting that was meant to be somehow. Not like we're such exciting company, but we played a role was helpful — hopefully.
