If you don’t get a miracle – be one. -Nick Vujicic

Wednesday. Hump day. Busy day. Busy week. Busy life. It can wear a person thin. Too thin. Too often. Sometimes, hope seems tiny…

There’s not a person immune from this. None. Zip. Zilch. Zeeee-row.

I know we’re are busy, which is exactly why this 6.5 minute video is something we can’t possibly have time for.

Unless we desperately need to feel a seed of hope.

 

Praying for the world everyday. And today, especially for you, reading this right now.

What is prayer if not a deep, real hope for a better future

should we cling as tightly to our health as a child does to a parent’s leg?

What is prayer if not a deep, real hope for a better future. The health metrics for America are disgusting dismal not good. Stress, pressure, uncertainty, negativity. All lead to short cuts spurred on by our insatiable need for comfort.

On top of that, because so many people are unhealthy, being unhealthy seems more acceptable. Doesn’t it? Sad though because what we accept by default becomes the new standard. I pray we don’t get used to default-mode.

Sowing Seeds

From A Tiny Acorn, A Mighty Oak Does Grow
From A Tiny Acorn, A Mighty Oak Does Grow

It matters little to walk to do the preaching if not the walking is the preaching. In this note from Patty, we are not only preaching as we walk, but we are also sowing.

Take it away Patty…

Sowing Seeds, by my friend, Patty Hebert:

A local religious educator told me her objective is not to press out cookie cutter nuns and priests from her students, but to gently sow small seeds of Christ’s love into the folds of their lives. Can you picture that? The teacher, the gardener, teaching, tending to her students, His gardens. Quietly erecting a spiritual infrastructure for both opportunities and hardship, alike. A faith formed scaffolding to support them, and to rest upon.

Imagine if we were all sowers of seeds; one small seed at a time. Imagine what our world would be like if we took the hand of Jesus. Our lives and the lives of those gardens about us would never be the same.
