I was not very well prepared to lead a Sunday School discussion but it was good nevertheless, as we considered a passage from Jeremiah (29:1-12). The words spoke to me of hope, of persisting, of overcoming. They spoke of home and return from exile. Don't we feel like we've been in a kind of exile for the past 2 years of COVID and political unrest. As begin this 3rd year, words of hope and restoration are sorely needed.
Mid-afternoon, we ventured out for a walk. The weather was gloomy, portending the snow to come, but we needed the movement. A walk by our beautiful lake is always restorative.
There were still leftovers in the refrigerator from our taco supper, so they became enchiladas. One of the ways we can care for creation is to not waste food. Americans throw away 25% of the food they buy! This is a huge waste of money, a harmful waste of resources and bad for the environment! We make every effort to minimize food waste.
