Prayer: May time spent with you, Lord, brighten our lives and may we let that light shine to all today. Amen
Reading: Exodus 34: 29-35 (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: There was a song I would sing with my preschool students during what we called our Morning Meeting. It went: Good morning to you! Good morning to you! We're all in our places, with bright shining faces. And this is the way, to start a new day. Moses came down from Mount Sinai and the skin of his face shone because he had been talking to God. What if we started each day talking to God. Would our faces, in a way, shine? Granted, Moses's shining face was so extreme Aaron and all the people were afraid to come near him so we wouldn't necessarily want that. It was so bright, Moses had to cover his face with a veil! No, I am thinking more along the lines of This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...Hide it under a bushel, no! I'm gonna let it shine. Good morning to you, Lord. I'm in my place with a bright, shining face. This is the way to start a new day! -- Ruth Gates
