July 30th
30th Birthday of my daughter Christina!
Matthew 13: 54-58
Astounded
Is not his...
where then...
Offense
honor
unbelief
"He couldn't do many deeds of power..."
Is it because Jesus isn't a solo, look-at-me kind of attention seeker?
Doesn't he say elsewhere "Go, your faith has healed you?"
This speaks to me of collaboration and participation. Our participation is demanded. Freedom demands it. This is not magic...it is love...it is relationship.
Jesus is not frustrated, he is saddened at obtuseness that would result in such a missed opportunity to share in God's deeds of power toward healing and justice.
I hear a warning. Don't let this day be peppered with missed opportunities:
- reach out in thanksgiving to Nina
- enjoy your time babysitting with Sam
- encourage Joseph
- take care to honor the gift of your physical body and your health
- cooperate in joy
- collaborate in peace giving
