Prayer: In whatever we do, let our work be for the good for all and may we never give up. Amen
Reading: Galatians 6: 7-16 (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: This spring our son cut down two rosebushes because I said they were dead. He disagreed but followed my directions. There is now new growth and healthy leaves. We also cut down a very scrawny Japanese maple two years ago. It too is growing back. A neighbor cut down a tulip poplar. There is a young tree growing from the stump. God tells us we reap what we sow. Sometimes it seems He also provides new life when we have given up. For two years we planted butternut squash. Last year’s crop was very disappointing. Now we’ve planted a third crop. Will we reap what we sow? Or will it be a seed from a left behind squash from last year's torn out vine that produces this season? -- Alice Yeakel
