From the Pastor's Pen

Dear friends,

I love this picture.  It’s another one of Mike’s from the snowy day we had several days ago.  It’s the color that I find so beautiful.  The red berries pop amid the snow and you can almost taste the icicles mid drip.  When I looked at this picture today a bit of scripture came to mind from Psalm 8.

O Lord, our Sovereign,

    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

     Out of the mouths of babes and infants

you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,

    to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

    the moon and the stars that you have established;

what are human beings that you are mindful of them,

    mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them a little lower than God,

    and crowned them with glory and honor.

You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;

    you have put all things under their feet…   (Psalm 8: 1-6)

I am mindful today of the majesty of God who is so much greater than we. 

I am mindful of the immense artistic power of our Creator.

I am mindful that we are small,

But that God has honored us with responsibility and with an identity.

We are God’s beloved children.

O Lord, our Lord,

     How majestic is your name in all the earth!

Peace,

Pr. Sally
