Lovely Day

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore;

John 21:4a

As the weather outside begins to turn a more pleasant tone of Spring, I find myself drawn to spend more time basking in the cool breeze and bright sun accompanying this long-awaited changeover. Throughout the frigid temperature drop of this year’s winter season, I’ve longed for a more mild environment to enjoy being outside.

With Grayson now in tow, saddled in his stroller, we’ve routinely taken walks down the paved walking trail behind our apartment. Just the other day, upon arriving at one of the few benches scattered throughout the path, I unbelted him, picked him up in my arms, and took a stroll to the nearby pond, just to give him an opportunity to overlook the water. During this time together, I felt such a peace about life in general. Gone were the many emails, phone calls, meetings, appointments, deadlines, even if just for a few brief moments. Instead of the busyness of a hectic schedule, there was tranquility, a calm atmosphere to share in the company of my son.

In moments such as this, marked by an increased clarity, I can’t help but be reminded of scripture or hymns from time spent together in worship. As I walked with Grayson, I started humming a familiar tune, watching him take in all that surrounded him, until he made his inevitable grab for my glasses.

On this walk, I reflected on the morning following Jesus’ resurrection where he appeared to the disciples on the shore. Scripture tells us as the day was breaking, a new dawn, a fresh start, when Jesus bellowed the question to his unknowing followers, “Have you caught any fish?” After providing further instructions to their task, we’re told the disciples had such a haul, they couldn’t bring in the net (153 to be exact. Someone apparently counted.) Eventually, they arrived on shore to find Jesus preparing the morning’s meal.

This breakfast with their Lord was surely a welcome experience to those disciples who, several days before, had been in mourning for the loss of their friend, only to have him return. Here, life retained some semblance of normalcy once again. Jesus was back, sharing this meal, much in contrast to the last meal he shared before his arrest. This one signified the new day inaugurated by his return. Yes, things were looking up for the disciples again, but things had changed as well, and for the better.

This new day was the start of a season of life where they would enact the continuation of Jesus’ work. As Jesus told Peter, “You follow me!”, so too does he instruct us with the same command. Sometimes, it takes that momentary blip in our busy radars, quiet time spent in treasured company that we catch a glimpse of the new day before us and find ourselves reminded of the Savior’s love and the call he has put upon all our lives.

And a lovely day it is, indeed.

Spring Bazaar and BBQ This event happens May 16th, but it is never too late for you to be involved! Buy your BBQ tickets now and be sure to pick up extra tickets to sell to your friends and neighbors. The food is going to be great, and there will be incredible desserts available for purchase in the Bake Sale. We have many wonderful crafters in our church, and some of their wares will be available for purchase. You will not want to miss the silent and live auctions, as we have many fantastic items donated already.

But we still need more items for each of the sales and auction events. So sign up any Sunday or Wednesday to let us know what you can donate — an heirloom quilt, original artwork or craft you have made, a favorite dessert, a gift certificate to a favorite business, or a weekend at your cabin or beach house.

Finally, donations may also be made to offset the cost of the food for the BBQ. As you can see, there is a way for everyone to help us prepare, and to enjoy the day when it arrives.

Questions? Contact Lois McCoy at 919.266.1045 or [email protected], or ask at the BBQ and Bazaar Table on Sundays or Wednesdays.

As part of our Bazaar in May, we will be having a plant sale along 2nd Avenue that morning. If you have some perennials in your yard that need to be divided, now is the time to dig them up and divide them into pots. Please consider bringing some of those potted perennials to our plant sale that Saturday. With everyone’s help, we can have a wonderful array of beautiful plants to sell at the Bazaar. If you have any questions about the plant sale, please contact DeAnne Talley at 919-217-8076.
