This Sunday at Peace

Scripture: Romans 5:1-5, Proverbs 8

a note from Holly

I’ve been thinking about the “sins of the fathers (being visited upon the next generation)” since the NFL draft. To be honest, it’s not something I follow, but Joe had the TV on for some of it and I caught the headlines…

Like it or not, our parents shape us. And, we shape our parents, too.

It’s more than that, though, we shape our communities.

At our best, we put out into the world our best—like the list of attributes in Paul’s letter to the Romans: endurance, character, hope. The Proverbs always jump in with helpful wisdom about where we can go to grow those gifts.

No surprise, the answer keeps coming back to the glory of creation and the gift of community.

I’m thankful this week—especially—for both of those.

Love to you all,

Holly
