It is difficult to pick up the newspaper or click on a news link expecting anything other than difficult news. This nugget from scripture has kept me at peace today.

Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.

Matthew 4:23

He came to bring GOOD NEWS! In the midst of political chaos, economic hardship and poverty, he offered something different. He offered peace and abundant life.

He is still offering that to us today. In the midst of political chaos, economic disruption and harship, he offers peace and abundant life.

May your Sunday be blessed and your father’s celebrated as they deserve!
