Pastor's Pondering - October 8, 2021

Dear friends -

Autumn blessings! I have noticed the tree outside our living room window this year looks significantly different than last year. Last year, it was a brilliant red with hints of orange. This year, it is a muted yellow tinged with khaki. I don't officially know the botany, but we have gotten a lot less rain this year, which I think is part of the difference. Which lends to a real life nature lesson – stay hydrated: you’ll be more vibrant. It’s a spiritual life lesson as well – stay hydrated – fill your cup with some living water, and you’ll be more vibrant. So grab a drink of water, and carve out a minute to re-center yourself around God. Be more vibrant! Grace and peace, Jess
