First Lesson Cycle A Sermons for Lent and Easter
This story has been shared at many church gatherings recently. Three parish deacons were hiking across an old wooden foot bridge fifty feet above a dry and rocky creek bed. They stopped for a moment to absorb the breath-tak-ing view of distant hillsides, green pastures filled with grazing cattle, and endless rows of tall cornstalks waving in the gentle breeze.
"God's in heaven and all's right with the world," remarked Bill.
"It's days like this when we really need to stop and count our blessings," added Ralph.
