Prayer: Dear God, may seeds of kindness and good will break through barriers as we share the love you first gave us. Amen
Reading: Colossians 1: 1-14 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Our front and back porch floors are concrete. Over the years cracks have appeared in the foundation and from these cracks at the back porch dandelion have sprouted. This year we have some other green leaves popping out from the cracks along the front porch. Several years ago we decided to put river rock over a small section of our yard. But first the landscaper put down a plastic “cover” to prevent any growth between the pebbles. Time has passed. We now have clover, violets, and even a few daffodils growing through. May God’s love and wisdom grow from within us. May our seeds of kindness and goodwill break through any barriers in the way. -- Alice Yeakel
