Change of Colors
and Autumn arrives
Breezes of God’s love
inviting us to…
…see life anew
…be filled with a renewed spirit
…be open to creative ways of being hope-filled
A new season with a harvest of bright colors
reminding us to…
…share compassion more
…be understanding of differences
…connect with all of creation
October has pumpkins
that make us smile
An opportunity to share…
…lots of joy
…extend welcome with mercy and justice
…center one’s life in God’s way
Oh Autumn~~
Such a delight to be …
…a blessing of Jesus’ love
…a spark of the divine here on earth
…a grace to touch and become
part of Autumn’s message of
God is here… right now. Touch the spirit of Autumn
and you will become part of the message of Jesus’ love.
September 2023
The leaves wave~~. 
God’s love is in the breeze of life shared.
Calling each one of us forth
Changing colors
Showing us new ways
To serve
To be Jesus’ love
Autumn gathers and
showers us with new hopes
Let us embrace the season with…
…joy
…kindness
…prayer
Let us become a disciple 
with a mission shared with
the spirit of a new season….
…inclusive
…respectful
…compassionate
Let each one of us become a vibrant
color on the tree of life. Amen.

Brightness of Being a Blessing
August is a month of sunlight.
This makes me think of the sun-light of the Beatitudes.
The Blessedness of the Beatitudes represent the heart of Jesus’ message.
During this month of August let’s be Beatitude People.
- Blessed are the poor in spirit…let’s recognize our dependence on God
- Blessed are those who mourn…let us be compassionate hearts with the “gift of tears” (Pope Francis)
- Blessed are the meek…be gentle of heart and non-violent
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst…do God’s will with a just heart
- Blessed are the merciful…mercy is full of forgiveness
- Blessed are the pure of heart…express your faith in loving ways
- Blessed are the peacemakers…is a call to be a peace-giver
- Blessed are those who are persecuted…be a person who extends heart-peace
Let us strive during the last month of summer to be the brightness of Jesus’ Love by the way we speak to and about others.
May the sun-light of our actions be a wonderful, holy reflection of the “blessedness” of being. The sunshine of our faith lived with an open heart. Amen💓
