July 4th People Reflection

Monday 7/4/2005

Mark 12.28-44-Love others- give yourself to God

1 Kings 4-5-Israel prospered under Solomon- the building of the temple begins

Hosea 7.3-16-Be faithful to God- don’t turn away from him

1 Samuel 10.17-27-God will choose who leads

Hebrews 11.8-10, 13-16-Have faith and vision of a future land

Psalm 63-My soul clings to you

Good morning! – A simple greeting I heard yesterday- many times over- share among people at church – Peace of the Lord – many times – shared among people at church- greeting and concern and joy for those recovering- greeting and compassion for those enduring some trial- a group of people brought together each Sunday to worship God- a God we all have in common- a love we all have in common- a God we can give oursleves to – a God that lives with us when we prosper and when we are in the midst of trial- a God that gives us a vision of a future land- a God that we can cling to when in the midst of lives storms- a God who won’t turn away from us – a God who chooses the leaders we need when we need them most – A God of love- did God speak through people yesterday? – yea- through some Greeters- both formal and informal.

Prayer- Lord- let me greet this new day – Good morning to you! – Good morning and let your love shine brightly this day- you have blessed me with much and I give you thanks- especially this day I thank you for the land you have given me to live in- to travel in- to wonder at your creation- and the government of freedom—Good morning!- Let you love shine through this day in greeting --- Amen
