Meditation Moment
From the Pastor ....
    
After this Jesus said to him, ‘follow me.’
 (John 21:19)
Yesterday I had a case of the Mondays. Although I arise early each morning, coffee usually gives me a spurt of energy. While I was driving our high school senior to school yesterday, we were both quiet due to early morning exhaustion. We had a full weekend of biking, hiking and enjoying creation. Neither of us are “morning people,” and I hadn’t consumed very much coffee. Right when I was feeling sleepy and a bit down, Andre opened up his bag to show me, “look at these cool drumsticks I got for my percussion ensemble class.” Right on the drumsticks was a sticker that said, “stick with Jesus.” Andre said he had his choice of drumsticks—and this was the one he wanted to keep.
“Stick with Jesus.” How cool is that? Jesus encourages us daily to walk with him. Some days we may leap into the day full of energy and joy. Other days may be a struggle. No matter our experience, we are blessed that Jesus sticks with us. Jesus promises to walk with us every day. This little phrase, “stick with Jesus,” reminded me that God is with us always. In fact, this message shifted my whole day to recognize God’s presence and blessings. May you trust and know that Jesus sticks with you at all times.
Faithfully ~ Pastor Karna
