I’m not sure where the Spirit/universe/etc is leading right now but there definitely has been a theme in a lot recently about seeds, little things, etc. The latest came yesterday morning before worship. As usual, Scout and I were out but I was SO tempted to show up late for things at church because of what I knew was about 15-20 minutes away.
Above, you wrote the phrase, "egos and Ewoks a few weeks ago." Read it a few times and pay attention to how it feels in your mouth. E's and W's are prominent. That is more poetic than you may realize. It deserves your attention. A sermon? A poem? Both?
When I was first diagnosed with arthritis and fibromyalgia, it was very difficult for me to bend over. At the time, I was taking college classes and I decided to pick up any penny I found walking on campus. Whenever I saw a coin, I would bend down, pick it up, and say, "Thank you, Jesus." It was the beginning/planting of seeds of saying "thank you" for chronic pain and finding the humor in it. I just hung up on my first Chronic Pain Zoom meeting with the Arthritis Foundation. It was wonderful hearing from about 16 other people of all ages and gender. I realized how lucky I am to still have a sense of humor and be able to move through my days with some sense of Joy. It's interesting that I was the oldest person there, too. Maybe I have more seeds to throw and grow.
