We are now into the lazy days of summer. As those who accept and follow the Christ, we enter these days which are not only a time to relax but, if we choose, to reflect on the world around us and how we fit into it; I would ask you to contemplate the words of Ann Weems:
“He said, “Feed my sheep.”
There were no conditions:
Least of all, feed my sheep if they deserve it.
Feed my sheep if you feel like it.
Feed my sheep if you have leftovers.
Feed my sheep if the mood strikes you,
if the economy’s OK,
if you’re not too busy.
No conditions…just “Feed my sheep.”
Could it be that God’s Kingdom will come,
when each lamb is fed?
We who have agreed to keep covenant
are called to feed the sheep.
Even when it means the grazing will be done
on our own lawn. “

I trust it will be a good and relaxing summer for all of you.
