Peggy Aytche was a faithful member of Christ Lutheran. Many people have remembered her to me fondly. She died last July, where she has lived in recent years, closer to her daughter. Last week we received a package slip here at the church, and I puzzled, went to the post office and picked up a box. Inside were Peggy's three Advent offering folders which her daughter found going through her house. She had filled each one faithfully with quarters, but then put them away where they were lost until now. She thoughtfully sent them packaged in this box (pictured here), with a nice note to the congregation.
You never know how you can touch someone's life or how things will get passed along.
This Sunday's gospel reading is a second part of Jesus' sermon on the mount, in the gospel of Matthew. It contains the well-known verses about believers being salt for the earth, and the light of the world.
So - how are you salt and light? These verses reflect on light not being hidden (under a bushel), and salt not being salt if it loses its saltiness... Are these deep or meaningful symbols for you?
How does God use you to be salt and light for others?
