GeorgetownActon Wednesday Aug IB Clergy Comment Art Tribe Most of at tome or other have been seeing trees growing up out of solid rock This is a common In rUliburtoa Highlands and other parts of Ontario as an example It makes us wonder how it is possible for a tiny seed to find enough earth to spread roots and then to push Us way literally through solid rock The nest wonder is that the little sapling grows Into tall and stately tree We should not be too amazed if we stop and real lie the source of this growing and sustaining power The God of this universe is the Mighty Creator who sustains Ills universe by His creativity and power I it be fantastic to have that kind of power in your life A retired couple were sitting on their front porch one evening The wife was just watching the people go by The husband was reading a book The wife turned to her husband and said George let go inside and watch the late show To which George replied 1 too tired Do you resize that today my heart beat times My blood travelled miles 1 breathed times I Inhaled 483 cubic feet of air I moved major muscles And I 7 million brain cells I m exhausted I going to bed All that work Just to stay alive In one day And if that Isn t enough to make you want to go to bed imagine that you have been conditioned to believe that you are only a grain of sand or a tiny seed no bigger than a mustard seed with little or no control over your fate that you are exposed each day to events that drain your that you are Inundated constantly with the negative garbage that pours out from newspaper and the TV Combine that with your concern for your family s future concern for your own future and add to It the Tear that the world Is becoming a cesspool of pollution or may blow Itself up some bright summer day How can you main tain any feeling of well being when you must spend most of your lime and effort merely trying to survive Why should you think very highly of yourself as a member of the human condition How can you be content with things as they are How can you be happy What is there to lute in you Whats so great about this life I am the Good Shepherd Jesus assures us Follow Me But we are not sheep We are human beings in whom God has vested the of choke To accept reect Jesus invitation to believe or disbelieve that we are more than a grata of sand or a tiny seed no bigger than a mustard seed with little or no control over our own fate to believe or disbelieve that we are a miracle of God crention capable of being a strong of His in this world believe or disbelieve that we by being Christ a disciple can transform the struggle for mere survival Into the marvelous life- enriching adventure that Jesus offers Our power of choice Is real Use it wisely Choose to love rather than hate Choose to create rather than destroy Choose to laugh rather than cry Choose to per severe rather than quit Choose lo heal rather than wound Choose to praise rather than gossip Choose to give rather than take Choose to grow rather than stagnate Choose to act rather than refuse to get Involved Choose to pray rather than curse at the Choose to like rather than die You are free to choose whether to sink into the garbage of world events and personal events that threaten to dehumanize us or as powerful instruments of the amazing Grace of God to help redeem it Follow Jesus Christ who gives you the op portunity and shows you the way to become the uniquely beautiful be The choice is person God Intends you skews the youngsters tram Lot the art of Cindy has busy year It a been a busy year for Miss
