Becoming more like Jesus

 

A prayer, confessing sins and remembering the blessing of baptism:  Help us to desire You, Lord. Help us to yearn for Your presence. Pour Your baptismal waters over us again, cleansing us from our self-pity and arrogance. Nourish and heal us so that we may joyfully serve You. Wash away our jealousy, greed, and all negative thoughts and behaviors that stand in the way of our truly being the people You have called us to be.

 

Blessing the world

 

Thank you for continuing to stock the Blessings Box:  The food in the Blessings Box freezes overnight and thaws during the day.  Consider picking up some dried food staples instead of cans with liquid:  beef jerky/ meat snacks, dry instant soup mixes, instant salad dressings, Ramen noodle packets, cereals, instant potatoes, bouillon cubes or powder, dried fruit, nuts.
