From our Clergy Team Last Saturday morning, I awoke to the most brilliant sunshine gleaming through my window and it got me thinking about the importance of appreciating God’s grace and goodness in the simple things: the beauty of creation, a kind smile or uplifting conversation, a nice meal with family or friends, a favorite place to visit, the list goes on and on. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I overlook these things as encounters with the divine love of God because I expect Him to be at work in BIG andboldways. I expect Him to send me an overwhelming and powerful sign that He loves me and I end up missing Him in the many and varied and constant ways He pours His goodness out to me. At the same time, we all know the old saying that, “the devil is in the details.” We can tend to have the big things in our lives under control M “thou shalt not kill” and “thou shalt not steal” M but we find ourselves constantly caught up in the same little distractions and irritations that, when they build up, can blind us to the love of God in world.
