Grace and Peace to the Body of Christ in Tiffin, Ohio!

Siblings in faith, Spring has arrived, and the land rises in new life all around us. What more evidence do we need to recognize the Love of God and the New Life of Christ in our midst! This month I encourage us all to take time to engage our senses in prayer and to express our gratitude for the beauty of what God is creating.

Breathe deeply…Smell the damp, fertile earth and hungry chlorophyll filled stems exhaling their long-held winter breath. 

Feel deeply…Pay attention to the cool spring air swirling around your face or the sticky mud under your feet.  

Listen deeply…Hear the land awaken. Listen as the Grace and Breath of God animates birds of all kinds, mixing the zings, twirls, and loops of their songs like an orchestra without a conductor and busy human-beings running from here to there. 

Look deeply…Allow the sun to lift your heart and clear your mind. Sense God’s Spirit in a quiet sunrise or sunny Spring afternoon.
