Reflections From Sunday Evening

Autumn. The Fall season.
The leaves change colors.
Football season is in high gear.
Basketball teams are preparing for their season. The same for hockey.
Baseball playoffs are going strong.
People are enjoying October vacations and weekend get aways.
New TV shows premiere.
Holiday decorations appear in stores.
Sports, entertainment, and culture dominate life in the Fall. ( This may be true in any season, but we are thinking Fall now.)
I look at things that seem most prevalent in my life and take note that I did not immediately list “faith” matters.
That is not because I do not value or pay attention to my faith. I do.
I prayed this morning. Just like you.
I read the scriptures this morning. Just like you.
I went to worship this morning. Just like you. ( I acknowledge that is an expectation but I was there and engaged.)
So, our faith is vital to us. We would not be the people we are becoming apart from faith in Christ.
It is a wondrous time of year to fully enjoy God’s gift of life.
Seek the Lord and live your faith by the Holy Spirit. Faith provides meaning to all of life.
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
Steve
