RevSpeaks
This is my final RevSpeak for the community of Christ Church UM. As it goes in times like these, it is difficult to express the depth of my gratitude for the opportunity to serve this church. Thank you all for sharing who you are, your gifts and graces, your joys and your challenges.
In the words of Henri Nouwen, “To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives—the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections—that requires hard spiritual work. Still, we are only truly grateful people when we can say "thank you" to all that has brought us to the present moment.”
I am truly grateful, and say, “Thank you.” May the peace of Christ be with you always.
Shalom,
Rev. Sharon
