Wesley

Good Morning!

Hi, I am Wesley Pepper, Associate Pastor of Central UMC. I recently found an ancient Chinese legend I would like to share with you.



A group of elderly, cultured gentlemen met often to exchange wisdom and drink tea. Each host tried to find the finest and most costly varieties to create exotic blends that would gain the admiration of his guests.

When the most respected of the group entertained, he served his tea with unprecedented ceremony, measuring the leaves from a golden box. The assembled friends praised this exquisite tea. The host smiled and said, "The tea you have found so delightful is the same tea our peasants drink.

I hope it will be a reminder to all that the good things in life are not necessarily the rarest or the most costly. 

As we look forward to Thanksgiving Day, let us remember and be thankful for the good things in life: Faith, Family, and Friends.
