Essential

Pam Weinreis • Jan 06, 2021

The things that are essential in life, in a flourishing life might be,


Simply how we live our daily life.

Essential: necessary

Important to the highest degree

Could it possibly be all we really need to know about how to live


and what to do and how to be we learned in our elementary years?

Things like:


Share everything.


Play fair.


Don’t hit others.


Put things back where you found them.


Clean up your own mess.


Don’t take things that aren’t yours.


Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.


Wash your hands before you eat.


Flush.


Warm cookies and milk are good for you.


Live a balanced life – learn some – draw, paint, sing, dance,


and work some every day.


Take a nap every afternoon.


When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.


(Robert Fulghum “All I needed to know I learned in Kindergarten”)


How to live the dailiness of our lives?

1John 4: 7-11


Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.


Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.


But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.


God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son


into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.


This is real love-not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son


as a sacrifice to take away our sins.


Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.


Our purpose as believers in Jesus Christ is essentially,


love God, love others.


To teach and disciple, to come alongside those who hurt.


If possible, to help them in their messes.


Because it is still true- no matter how old you are-


when we go out into the world, it’s best to hold hands and stick together.


Until next time, Pam.

What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
