Scripture reading: Psalm 8; Matthew 6:25-34

For us human beings, everything, absolutely everything depends on what we attend to, especially what we choose to focus our attention on.  In summertime, we are especially invited to PAY ATTENTION.  Not to our work. Not to our obligations.  Not to what's wrong with our society or the world. But to the presence of God: to the beauty and mystery and fascination which is immediately  around us us every day and every night, if we but choose to attend to it.  You are invited to bring to church on Sunday some way this week you have been rewarded just by ATTENDING.

See you Sunday,

 

Jeff
