Traveling dirt

Time spent on this glorious KC day playing on their new playground.  Berna shows how strong she is.

With all of us in a state of upheaval these days, and kind of messed up in how we are dealing with it all... the thought of the mustard seed taking root in our dirt kind of seemed like we needed to face the fact that we are traveling dirt these days.  Just through the car wash and getting Ruth's gravel road washed off Nancy's car, and hearing from Pat that we will soon have to deal with living on a gravel road... Well, that dirt certainly can take hold and travel with you all the way to Kansas City!
Our dirt travels with us, an in many ways it is a symbol of our humility we are called to embrace as we die to self so that The Holy Spirit can dwell and work in us and so that the tiniest seed planted in us can bear much fruit and be a plant large enough it to become a home for others that need shelter from the world of sin and darkness.   Allowing our domestic Church/home to be a small slice of heaven here on earth from time to time.

Jesus, may we cling to you and your Truth which shows the path to follow.  All of this change is hard and challenging.  Give us the strength to go forth.  We bask in the sunlight of your love and forgiveness.  Jesus, we trust in you.  Bless-bless, Barb


Tomorrow is Jesus calming the storm - Jesus is in control!
