Sunday’s Blessing – 07/28/2024

May you never tire of the rain from Heaven

Even when you feel saturated

When your cup is overflowing

You are being blessed to give instead of always receiving

May the Lord give wisdom during the rainy seasons

To discern what is to be consumed (bread) and what is to be given (seed)

To have strength for the journey

And always have crops in the making

May your dreams/purpose stay before your eyes

So you may contend for the prize

Run with intent

Attain the goal

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/21/2024

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/21/2024

May you become fully aware of God’s presence, even when you are the most alone you’ve ever been

Aware that He knows your every thought

Sees your every move

Gives you every breath

May you understand there is no place where He is not

Even when you don’t want Him there

Feel like you do not deserve His presence

Are ashamed to know He knows

May you fully embrace the grace, mercy, and forgiveness He brings

Because you cannot earn it

You cannot survive without it

You can only accept it

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/14/2024

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/14/2024

May the Lord’s goodness overwhelm you as the sound of waves crashing on the shore

Unending, one after the other, each with a singular purpose

Bringing ashore what is needed for the day

Washing away what needs to be released

May the wind of God blow constant as the ocean breeze

Giving lift to your wings for flight

Cooling you from the fervent heat

Infusing breath into your dreams and desires

May the grains of beach sand and stars in the sky bring new vision

Both above and below, reflecting the myriad of possibilities

Each one unique waiting to be discovered

Containing the perfect path for you in this moment

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/07/2024

Sunday’s Blessing – 07/07/2024

May your soul be refreshed like the cool rain falling on the parched summer ground

Like rain from heaven soaking the dry places

Like cool waters soothing the scorching heat

Like gentle breezes refreshing the stale air

May you flourish as the daylily, welcoming the sunlight

With deep roots to drink from the waters beneath

With beautiful array of flowers declaring God’s beauty

With no care or worry, resting in The Father’s love

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/30/2024 – Independence Day Week

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/30/2024 – Independence Day Week

May you come to understand July 4 is not a Christian holiday

Because your independence was bought at Easter

Through the death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and seating of Christ

Freeing you from any dependence other than to the Father

May you be thankful for a country where you are free to exercise your faith without penalty

Giving praise to the One who provided your liberty

And pray for those who are not so fortunate

As they face unknown consequences for exercising their faith

May you live your life as an ambassador of The Kingdom

Representing the Lord to your world

Serving as a minister of reconciliation, leading all people back to God

By revealing Christ to those you meet

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/23/2024

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/23/2024

May you encounter the God of New Beginnings

So you can realize it is never too late

So you can know that God is always for you

So you will see there is still a reason to live

May you mark this day as the beginning of the rest of your life

Forgetting prior mistakes or failures

Allowing yourself to receive the grace God has given

And live today as if you have nothing to lose

May you be aware of the wonder God has placed in your path

So you will never stop dreaming

So you will keep a creative mindset

So you will become more like your Lord

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/16/2024 – Father’s Day

Sunday’s Blessing – 06/16/2024 – Father’s Day

May the Lord encourage and comfort you on the day we honor fathers

Encouragement for those who did/does not have a great father

Comfort for those whose father is no longer living

Hope that you will know the love of THE Father

May the Lord strengthen and humble fathers on their special day

Strength so you may stand firm for your family

Wisdom to guide them toward their purpose

Humility to realize that without the Spirit’s power you are nothing

May the Lord bring clarity and understanding to the Church fathers

Clarity of purpose for those bold enough to lead a congregation

Understanding the role God has given to nurture those in your care

Willing to follow the model of the Good Shepherd
