HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (July 7, 2019)
The Holy Spirit has sown the seed of God’s love and compassion in the hearts of our friends, neighbors, and yes, even our enemies; but, do we attempt to help them realize the seed of God’s love is in their hearts? The harvest is before us, and the opportunity to make a difference is before us (Luke 10:2). May we seize the opportunities God has given us and not grow weary in doing good.
lyWhy the concern about growing weary? Sharing the message of God’s love is perhaps more difficult in the everyday ordinary, situations of life in which we find ourselves than in the heroism of a single day. May we have the courage to faithfully and continually share God’s love, and not expect someone else to do it.
Prayer for the Week (June 23-June 29)
Let us pray that we grow in union with the One who fulfills our heart’s desire: Almighty God, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you. Lead us by your Spirit so that in this life we live to your glory and in the life to come enjoy you forever. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sunday Reflection (June 23, 2019)
Like the Psalmist in the 42nd Psalm, we may struggle to feel the presence of God. We may feel that we are driven from God or that we have driven God from us. When Jesus met a man who undoubtedly felt that he had been driven from God and others, Jesus triumphed over that which had driven him away from God and others (Luke 8:26-39).
What drives us from God and others? It could be a painful addiction; a simple misunderstanding that became a complex misunderstanding; to such issues such as religion, language, economic standing, politics, nationality, and so forth. Christ shows us a better way than our learned patterns of destruction that drive us away from God and one another. Christ brings the joy of restoration and wholeness and enlists us in this divine endeavor of bringing healing and restoration to the world.
