A Summer Blessing

6/28/2015

 
As we are now into our summer schedules, (Even though with all the rain we have been having it doesn’t feel like it). We can become lax in outdoors and go on vacations and just relax. None of these things are bad. Just remember that faith is not a job or something that we have to do, rather it is a gift from God, it allows us to turn our “have to's” into “get to's”. We get to serve with our God and participate in Gods revelation to the world. What an awesome responsibility. We, each one of us have been called By God to be his disciple here and now - to live out the message that he has given to us and to show others that God loves us and them in a very personal way. That God is with us every day and in every moment, just like he was 2000 years ago. This is a favorite prayer of mine that is a good reminder to each of us:
May you walk with God this summer, in whatever you do Wherever you go, Walking with God means…
Walking with honesty and courage, Walking with love and respect And concern for the feelings of others.
May you talk to God this summer and everyday, in every situation. Talking with God means…
Praying words of praise for the beauty of creation saying prayers of thanks for friends and good times,
Asking God’s help in all your decisions expressing sorrow when you have failed.
May you talk with God every day, May you look for God’s presence in every situation. He is there sharing all your joys and carrying you through all your sorrows.
Wanting you to talk to him whenever you can.
He loves you very much.

May your summer truly be a blessing to you and all those you love and serve.

Amen.
In Christ’s Love, 
Rev. Stephen W. Barch
