just reflections on today's scripture reading ...

As a part of my being sent into the world by Christ Jesus and the Church an umbrella over living out my call is as follows:

As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:12-17)

This morning, LORD, I give you thanks for once again being appointed by our bishop and cabinet that you just may pull off a miracle by working through me. Such still makes my eyebrows rise in a disbelieving gratitude that you can work through the human family even while we get too caught up in ourselves. Especially for your determination I give you praise. Amen.
