Appreciating the Small Things in Life!



Summer is a great time of year to take a look around and be aware of the beauty of God's Wonderful creation. I have growing in my backyard the best flowers. We are not flower freaks but these ones are awesome. They are called Tiger Lilies and are most often noticed because of their bright orange colour and eye catching arrangement of petals. Recently as I've watched the Tiger Lilies grow and then display their beauty, I have honestly been reminded of how those who follow Jesus are to be very similar. We are to grow and display the beauty that God created us with. Each one of us different and yet as a follower of Jesus.....there is so much of us that is to be the same. We are preparing for a great Baptismal service this Sunday where 10 individuals are going to share their story of how God has rescued them, make them new and how they are growing to display God's beauty in their everyday live.


Today as you stop to view a beautiful flower....remember that your life also displays the hand of the creator....Jesus Christ...and what a wonder that is!


Blessings,


Pastor Brian
