Greetings in Christ!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Let us rejoice in the first day of summer, and let us be glad for beautiful weather beckoning us into God’s awesome Creation to enjoy his handiwork! Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us “there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens,” and summertime is the season for enjoying sunshine and lakes and bicycle rides and ice cream cones, so let’s take full advantage of this wonderful season!
Summertime is also a time for rest and rejuvenation, a time for reading a good book or two, and a time to reconnect with those special ones in our lives. May we gently suggest that one of the good books to read this summer is the Good Book, the Bible? Scripture is a rich source of guidance, inspiration, joy, and comfort, making the Bible an excellent addition to your summer reading list. To be honest, there are some books in the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) that can be something of a challenge, but they’re worth the effort because we can gain a greater understanding of our ancestors in the faith by making the effort to read them. So why not make a commitment to read at least a couple of chapters of Scripture every day, before you pick up the newest novel or magazine from the stack next to your favorite chair? If your reading leaves you with questions, stop in and have a chat with your pastors, or give us a call; we’d love to talk with you and exchange ideas! Revel in this season of sunshine and warmth, and remember that God is good, all the time; and all the time, God is good!!
Blessings,
Karen and Greg
