Labor Day

Happy Labor Day, I hope.  God is at work today.  How so?  Well, say you are aging.  Your body is decaying.  This can be a good thing.  God likes decaying bodies!  Why?  Think of the seed that must fall to the ground and “die” in order for food or plants to grow.  The seed literally decays so that it opens for nutrients from the soil to interact with the decaying seed to produce something new and nourishing for others.  The seed does not do much but decay.  Your body is decaying just like the seed.  God’s Grace is like the soil.  It interacts with the decaying body. God does all the work while you just age.  This grace is divine, creative energy that is special for decaying people.  Have hope that as a senior person you still have some gifts, new ones, to offer to the community around you.  So enjoying a day of restful decaying.  God is at work.  I did a workout this morning.  I am definitely decaying.  I hope God has some plans for me.
