Country Church Music - From the Heart

Greetings dear friends and family,

This past spring two flowers emerged in one of our flowerbeds. At first we were unsure what they were. Soon it became clear that they were milkweed plants. As many of you know, the Monarch Butterfly is dependent upon the milkweed for survival. Several Monarchs have found the plants. I’m hopeful that some will eventually lay their eggs there so we can watch the larvae feed off the leaves and begin the process of transforming into a butterfly.

At our baptisms a transformation began. We became heirs of the kingdom and dependent upon Christ for survival. He is the bread of life. He gave his life upon the cross so that one day our transformations will be complete. Thanks be to God!

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. John 6:51

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, you have claimed us as your own. At times we forget that and become lost and feel all alone. We hunger for your mercy, love, grace, and peace.  Feed us with the bread of life so that we may be transformed not only now but for all eternity. In your name we pray. Amen.

With love from the heart,

Diane
