Minister’s Musings May 20, 2026

Minister’s Musing:

As the seasons change here in the mountains, there is a special kind of joy that begins to fill our hearts and our community. This time of year, many of our beloved friends and members make their way back up from the valley to spend the summer among the pines once again. There is something deeply comforting and uplifting about seeing familiar faces return—sharing hugs, stories, laughter, and the warmth of connection renewed.

Joy is often found in these simple sacred moments. It lives in reunion, in belonging, and in the quiet reminder that we are never walking this journey alone. In a world that can sometimes feel hurried and heavy, joy calls us back to gratitude for one another and for the gift of community. Each smile, each handshake, each shared conversation becomes a reminder that Spirit continues to move through our lives in beautiful and unexpected ways.

Affirmation:

Divine joy fills my heart and overflows into my life. I welcome each day with gratitude, connection, and love. I rejoice in the blessing of community, and I celebrate the sacred joy that surrounds us all.
