Essentials

Apple picking is essential to the harvest season September brings. And, I have it under good authority that this annual ritual begins the slippery slope into fall which leads into Halloween and the early dawn of Christmas decorations, winter's shorter days, cold temps and dark nights.  Whow! So let's slow down to a pace that gives us time each day to give thanks for the fruits of the Spirit and the essentials of our faith; the abundant harvest of love, the heartfelt prayers of the people and gracious acts of kindness.  One day at a time, may we welcome the pace of God's kin-dom where peace and hope and God's abundance provides enough for all.  

"I saw that God is everything which is good and comforting for our help.  God is our clothing, for God is that love which wraps and enfolds us, embraces us and guides us, surrounds us for his love which is so tender that God may never desert us.  And so in this site, I saw truly that God is everything which is good."
