Good morning!
REV AMY ROLLER

I just returned from a conference full of Methodist clergy and lay people. For one of the worship services, our Bishop gave a challenging yet encouraging sermon.

She shared about her friend who was dying of cancer. Her dear friend said, “I’m not afraid of death, I just don’t want to miss anything.” She challenged us to not miss out on anything in this life or in the eternal life that God has promised.

As we go about our daily lives, how much do we miss? Perhaps we miss out on the joy of relationships, because we are too busy. Maybe we miss or ignore the simple blessings that God gives because we’re not attentive. We probably miss out on opportunities to share the love of Christ with others for many reasons. I pray that we live in such away that we will all experience the abundance of life that God longs to give us now and eternally.

So go today, being attentive to God’s presence, and miss none of the blessings and opportunities that come your way.
