Prayer: Praise the Lord! Through even difficult times, we grow to good use and purpose. Your word is true; your love is forever. Amen
Reading: Psalm 147: 12-20 (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: Winter is here. Snow, sleet, ice, cold. But the snow and ice melt. Winds blow both harshly and gently. The sun re-appears and the waters flow. Winter is a season which passes as life continues and things grow. We planted a young fir tree in our north facing front yard. It flourished and has a near perfect shape. Now almost 10’ tall, the borough is moving it to our town hall and decorating it with white lights for the Christmas season. God prevails. He cares. All grows to good use and purpose. Praise the Lord! --Alice Yeakel
