Music Ministry Page 3 Greetings!!! Greetings, Wesley UMC Family!!! I often wonder what he thought as he sat there. He had been told to do something profound, something that defied explanation and that no one else had ever had to do before. It was something that seemed so difficult and at times so ridiculous. More than that, he had been told that if he did not do this thing, he and his family would be in danger. So, there he sat. He had been shut in for weeks, seeing the same faces everyday with nowhere to go and nothing to do but the chores that were available to him. He had no doubt grown weary of the worry, the complaining, the arguing. There was truly no end in sight to his misery. It seemed like the world was ending. And then the dove returned. The story of Noah reminds me so much of our current situation. It is no doubt easy to look around at the misery and the suffering and a world that seems intent on imploding. But I think that it is times like this that narrow our focus and help us to spot those blessings that might otherwise go unnoticed. Never before have I gotten such pleasure out of something so simple as a vegetable garden. I find myself going out two or three times a day to commune with my plants, to visit them and see how they are getting along in their day. I hope that each of you, too, is finding some sort of small blessing that you had not realized was there before. If not, look around. I know you can find one!!! My pontificating done, I want to invite everyone to the drive-in service this Sunday. I think the last one went very well and was very enjoyable for everyone!!! Just make sure you get out of Rhonda's way at communion time! :-) Yours in Christ, Shane Wesley UMC Newsletter July 2020
