Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.–Matthew 18:5
As we reflect on community I am reminded of the many Sundays Owen, our first grandson, shared with me. As I attended Sunday Morning Bible Study he played with Sunday school toys, wandered in to share his child’s wisdom or sat in the sanctuary listening to the choir practice playing with a toy. All whom he encountered cared for him in their special way. I was able to trust that he was safe here, no matter where he went. He was very comfortable & for this community I am very grateful. Owen is now 16 with a firm foundation in the many ways we care for each other.
God of love, may our loving care create a firm foundation for people of all ages. Amen.
