Move Toward the Light. Ah, that we might do as the Henri Nouwen post HERE describes…
I want to see you come closer to me and experience the joy and peace of my presence. I want to give you a new heart and a new spirit. I want you to speak with my mouth, see with my eyes, hear with my ears, touch with my hands. All that is mine is yours. Just trust me and let me be your God.”
Trust God.
Why is that so hard? Could it be that society’s focus on being self-sufficient has hardened our hearts to a God moving through us? If so, what a pity to miss the inspiration of new heights.
Let’s think about loosening our grip on our hearts and spirits in a variety of ways…
POTENTIAL ACTIONS: This season will likely find increasing numbers of folks looking for food, presenting opportunities to
- share financial and/or food offerings with a local** food pantry
- check with your faith community about upcoming opportunities to feed community members
- volunteer to help with a local mobile food pantry, community dinner
- find a Little Pantry in your area and help stock it with shelf-stable food items
** for those in the Cinci region, some food organizations are listed HERE
Enjoy this day, strengthened and spurred by the Spirit!
