Prayer: God our protector, we lean on your wonderful word. Thank you for friends we can lean on, too, even if not in person these days. Help us be kind and loving in whatever way we can be. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 119: 129-136 (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: We see so much unhappiness and bitterness in today’s world. Why? Why do we lack compassion and tolerance? God asks us…no, God tells us to be kind and loving. Is it really that hard? Kindness and love grows as we live with praise in our hearts. Praise God for his kindness and love and it will be there for you to share, too. Through the isolation of the Coronavirus I have truly come to appreciate the importance of having contact with my friends; with anyone for that matter. We share happy thoughts and, yes, sometimes frustration. We try to console each other and then make each other laugh. And we sometimes cry because we feel overwhelmed. God, however, assures us He is always with us. He is our protector. --Alice Yeakel
