Wearing red to Church this Sunday was how many Christians participated in the celebration of Pentecost. In the message of Christ this is when the Holy Spirit showed up and showed up big time.
It is told in the New Testament book Acts and specifically in Chapter 2. At our Church Sunday, Associate Pastor Barbara Hatchell preached her sermon "A Mighty Wind Blows". It was a moving message as the Spirit moves but more so because Barara will be retiring in a few weeks. Deeply Loved as she is by so many it is a sad transition at the same time as it is a happy occassion.
During Children's Moments Pastor Barbera gathered the children and then blew bubbles with them to help illustrate and teach about the Holy Spirit and how it comes as if by a breath from God.
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear it's sounds, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the spirit." John 3:8
And thought I would share some more about all things bubbles:
Bubble Bath
Drawing the hot water
As frothy peaks and valleys
Sway with the waves
then two bodies sink
bent knees and tangled legs
resting in the warmth
all inhibitions melting
away.
A long lovely day ending
With two glistening smiles
Caressing joviality and
Feminine fragrance flowing
Above and below the surface.
Gently rocking emotion
swells
Across the boundaries
diminishing
As love in proper practice
Spills over into the
Cracks and crevices of
Our vulnerabilities
And makes an indelible mark
On our soul.
