I hope that as we celebrate our teenagers and young adults, we send them from Christ Church with all of the best end of year vibes. And, that whatever nostalgia and excitement they feel, they will remember clearly what Jesus showed his friends. May they always remember that they are called to love one another as Jesus loves us. As yearbook quotes go, that one will age well.

I would love to hear what you think we might learn about who you are from your estate sale, but I’m also curious about what we might learn about who God is by being in relationship with you. If I've learned anything from estate sales, it’s that every little item can be meaningful. Nothing is too old or too small or too broken to be loved, and it’s the same with us. Everything God has created reveals, in one way or another, that God is good and holy and magnificent. If people learn from my life that God cares about half-dead house plants and foot health, that’d be great! Each of us is just the treasure that someone has been looking for to open their eyes to the wonders of the Kingdom of God.
