Friends,
I hope you are having a great week and enjoying this rain. Don’t we need it?
On Sunday in the first sermon in a series of three, What Christians Do, we focused on the fact that We Pray.
Remember that I asked you specifically to pray for three different people each day this week. Here’s a story that was told:
A mother had two sons, one a gardener and the other a potter. Said the gardener, ‘O mother, pray to God for rain to water my plants.’ Said the potter, ‘O mother, pray to God for sunshine to dry my pots.’ Now the mother loved them equally well. Shall she pray for rain or sun? She decided that she would pray for both her sons and leave their requests in the hands of God.
(adapted from Harry Emerson Fosdick, The Meaning of Prayer, written in 1915)
Well, it is Wednesday – how are you doing in this prayer experiment? If you’ve lifted up three people each day in prayer, great, keep going. If you have forgotten – it is only Wednesday, start now. And, if you weren’t here to accept the challenge, won’t you begin today.
On Sunday we’ll focus on part II, What Christians Do: We Think.
I hope to see you tonight as we listen to one of Paul’s sermons.
Blessings,
Ande
