Weekly Pause & Ponder

“God is at work within life; God helps it, raises it up, gives it the impulse that drives it along, gives it the appetite that attracts it, the growth that transforms it.  I can feel God, touch God, live God, in a deep biological current that runs through my soul and carries it with it.  The deeper I descend into myself, the more I find God at the heart of my being.” 

God has given us the land, not only for producing abundant food but also as a source of hope.  The land is our teacher.  Let us be attentive to what is happening within us and around us.  Let us be aware of the land’s teachings about transformation.
