Summary
Dear Amazing Grace people,
As I write this I received a message from Bernice Young. Joe’s sister-in-law, Rose, is near death. They are planning to go to Boston to celebrate her life when they get the call. Let’s pray for this endearing time.
Longing – the longing of the Samaritan woman at the well to receive the living water Jesus promised so she would not have to go to the well every day to draw water. Her true longing was to overcome her suffering and find acceptance and peace of mind. She even changes the subject when Jesus tells her of her five husbands plus one. We love the response of Jesus – the day is coming when where and even how we worship will not matter. We will all worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth.
I don’t know about you, but we have so much to look forward to – in the future, when we give up all the things we cling to because the we think they are necessary for our sense of personhood. Jesus has the living water that quenches the thirst of our souls.
Thanks for being part of the community of Amazing Grace church. Wishing you many blessings and prayers as we seek to be open to God’s presence in our lives, to fulfilling our deepest longing.
Thank you,
His,
Cheri
