Jesus our Savior has come into our lives and our past has been overwritten by a new and glorious future. We become the center of attention for those around us who see in us something that is so different from the world. We aren’t Oreos, Vanilla Wafers or Fig Newtons we are something that can’t be bought in any store. We are made to serve others with our lives. We give ourselves selflessly to bless others. We don’t choose who we will bless but rather by making ourselves available God will lead us to those who need us. The fragrant aroma of our lives living out the will of God will attract those who hunger to know God.

Never once did he complain about his treatment at the hands of abusive officers, a prosecutor with a political agenda, a judge that didn’t have the courage to follow his convictions, or a fickle populace that in one week went from a joyous throng hailing him as a king to a blood thirst mob demanding his execution. Instead he said, “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” even as his life was ebbing away (Luke 23:36).

Fall 2019 News Letter
The seasons change and so does life. As much as things appear to be the same day after day, forming endless routine, change happens, often without our notice and certainly without our permission. People come and go from our lives, jobs change, housing situations change, finances change, health issues, family issues. Often, we have no control over change and that leads to stress.
