Here we are again...the heat of summer subtly giving way to the cool of fall..it feels wonderful after an exceptionally hot season here in New England. But, how I savor these last weeks of summer vacation with the kids.
Right now, Caleb is HOME (!) from his excellent adventures at Camp Clear where he served as a counselor for 5 weeks. He had a fantastic time and grew by leaps and bounds!! Mary is here, reading one of her summer assignments for school (go, Mary!).
Paul's taking a nap, and Daniel and John are in NYC for an excellent adventure! They left early this morning by train to enjoy city life for a couple days! This is John's first time to NYC. They hope to visit a couple of colleges John's interested in. Paul caught up with them while they were on the ferry to Statin Island! They'll also stay with a host from our Brooklyn 'sister' church and worship with them tomorrow.
Blog, blog, blog. Paul thinks I should blog more. I wonder what I should blog about.
Life, of course!
Today I was in the van, waiting for my friend Shelley to pick up a few things at Market Basket while little Jamie slept in the car seat. I enjoyed people watching and the thought came to me clear as day why: People are made in the image of God!!!
Did you hear that? Nothing else, no other form of creation can make this claim. Only people are made in the IMAGE of GOD! No wonder they're fascinating! No wonder we are interested in stories, shows, movies, books, drama...life!!!
I get way too busy and forget to stop and take it in-this amazing truth is worth meditating on. If we're made in the image of God, then we have much to learn by honoring each human creature we encounter and learning from their lives. All our lives tell a thousand plus stories. So next time I'm tempted to rush past or get annoyed with someone I hope I can remember they're God's handiwork. I want to learn more what it means..and in so doing hopefully reflect my Lord to others.
