Reaching out from Grand Lake Community Chapel
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 arrival of “meteorological summer” (on June 1st) and let us be glad that the weather forecast has a bit of rain coming our way; we don’t want to lose all those flowers and veggies we just finished planting! We’re not hoping for a washed-out weekend, but a little overnight rain would be welcome.
Now that summer has arrived, the pace of life Up North paradoxically will both slow down a bit, and be-come a bit frenzied; seasonal folks will be spending long weekends at their cottages, favorite porch chairs will be occupied with readers, activities on the lakes will pick up, bicyclists will be back on the roads and trails, and golf courses and tennis/pickleball courts will be filled with enthusiasts. Life is good during these special days; and yet the world is in need of our prayers, and neighbors are in need of our helping hands. The world needs our fervent prayers for peace and calm, neighbors are still cleaning up from the floodwaters, loved ones need our presence when diagnoses are not what was hoped for, and loved ones need our joyful celebrations of birthdays and anniversaries and graduations. What a privilege it is when we are chosen to be the voice of God offering comfort, the hands of Christ offering support, and the presence of the Holy Spirit bringing joy. Life is indeed good when we fulfill our calling as Christian brothers and sisters to love one another, as Christ loved us. Enjoy the season, savor these special days, and be ever thankful for all that we have been blessed with! God bless you, Karen and Greg
