What's your story?Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble… Psalm 107:1-2 Who doesn’t like a good story? Stories inspire and connect us. They entertain, inform, and sometimes challenge us. And all of us have a story. The story of our life and all of it’s adventures. So, I’m curious…what is your story? Even more specifically, what's your journey of faith story? How did you become a follower of Jesus? How did you wind up in this church family? Three simple questions. Each of us with a different answer. Have you ever wondered what those answers would sound like? I know I have. We all have our own journey that we have walked. Each one just as valid as the next. … always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you… 1Peter 3:15 I'd like to invite you to think about these questions and how you might answer them if someone were to ask you. Even more boldly, what if you were to invite someone for a cup of coffee or tea and ask them? Maybe you could take turns answering these questions. How might the sharing of our stories with one another encourage us and strengthen us in our journey of faith? Pretty sure that we might then voice the words of the psalmist: Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Blessings,
Matthew+ Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP p.219) |
