This weekend we bid farewell to Deborah Morrison. Deborah has been part of Nativity all her life and she embarks on a new chapter as she heads to Las Vegas to be near her daughter and her family. Deborah, we will miss you but we know God will continue to bless you and all those you meet in Las Vegas. Thanks for all the goodness and blessings you brought to Nativity. Please come back and see us whenever you’re in town!
Today, Jesus calls us from the busyness of our lives to rest in his embrace. Many of us may have labored hard this last week and are tired. Some of us have experience lots of stress by all the demands placed on us and we need a break. Whatever we’re going through, God calls us to come away for a while and rest in him. This summer seems to be the perfect season we can steal a little time away from our usual routine and rest with the Lord. My hope is that all of us can schedule in a little time to read, sleep, sit by the water or just enjoy the moments. If we spend our lives just running from one thing to another, we will miss so much along the way. Jesus reminds us today that we are called to find our peace resting in him and to bring that peace to those we meet along the way.
