Dear Church Family,

As most of you know there has been a lot going on among our church family. Many of our members are dealing with physical challenges and diseases. Some are dealing with the loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, changes in careers, anxiety, the heartaches of church family life. The concerns are many. We also have been actively seeking the Lord's calling for our church, serving the Lord in many different ways, faithfully answering His call.

Scripture addresses all the wonderful and sometimes not so wonderful realities that we go through as human beings. Our energy, in the form of time, emotion, finances, servitude, relationships, etc. doesn't always stretch as far as we try to force it in dealing with these realities. It is during these reality checks, if you will, that it is important to take a moment or many moments to allow the Lord's wisdom and strength to lift you up.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 speaks of many of the realities of our lives and introduces them by the phrase "a time to..." what follows in verse 12 and 13 is wisdom I am applying to myself after a busy month of realities. Ecclesiastes 3:12 and 13 say, "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God." This is a wonderful reminder to me to not let the burdens of life take away the goodness of the Lord. No matter what you, or I, or we are challenged or burdened with, make sure to let the Lord's goodness flow into you and take time to enjoy your food and drink, and take pleasure in the work you have accomplished. The simple pleasures of life, such as food and drink, are put into our lives as gifts from God.

Some of the simple pleasures are giving your spouse an extra kiss, hugging your children more often, cherishing your friendships, watching the sunrise or sunset, drinking a cold glass of water or a cup of hot chocolate, or going to bed early. There is an endless supply of simple pleasures that keep us connected to our Lord to help us navigate our realities. I happen to be taking a day off tomorrow with my family as a simple pleasure. God Bless.

Bound for Glory,

Pastor Luke
