Some of us are enjoying a leisurely summer and others of us are dashing around and traveling. But I just wanted to say, let's please remember how much we are needed by others at this time. In the midst of reunions and weddings, recent graduations and vacations, let's hold those who are suffering in our hearts.
Baltimore
The Midwest
Charleston
Nepal
All the people who've lost churches to arson
Please consider donating your time or money to a cause. Though the circumstances are sad, through giving, we can show our children how to give. This giving will look different for everyone, vary from family to family. But I'm encouraging us to take a minute during a prayer before dinner, have a conversation before bed, to acknowledge our gifts and how we might share them with those who have needs. Practicing love and compassion is the core of our humanity.
