So Many Gifts (S13 Episode38)

Well, we have come to the penultimate episode of the season. And for this Sunday, and next, I feel as though I have important words to share with us as we wrap up our season together and move into the summer. This Sunday is all about the many, many gifts that are all around us. So, I want to start by explaining my nightly bedtime ritual and how it reminds me of an important truth. Then I want to take us into two incredible sentences we find in the book of James that can help us reframe the way we live. Of course, I will also need to talk about hugging trees, the unfathomable things we are discovering about the cosmos, the cruel vagaries of chance we encounter in life, and why Paul was uniquely qualified to speak about the nature of suffering. Finally, I want to explain why, despite everything, we can walk through life with a sense of joy and gratitude that most people don't possess. I am really looking forward to this one, so I hope you will join us on Sunday for So Many Gifts.
