Pastor's Pondering - October 28, 2022

Dear friends -

When a friend of mine's mother died awhile ago, we were talking about how grief can affect people in various ways. Like forgetting basic things like drinking water. Now, when we text each other various encouragements in ministry, we tag on: "And go drink some water."

It's become like praying for our daily bread - that's not a prayer to get a loaf of bread every day but rather a prayer for God to nourish us each day. "Go drink some water" is the reminder to do something healthy and life-giving. Go check out the fall colors, go find a quiet space to be renewed, go listen to some beautiful music, go dance with your beloved, go make art, go for coffee with a friend, go for a walk.

Grace, peace, and go drink some water,

Jess
