Dear Beloved,

Who and what are you thanking God for today? One of the many blessings for which I’m giving thanks today is the for storytellers (and the stories they tell). Thank you God for all the people courageous and vulnerable enough to tell their stories. 

I’m especially grateful right now for the storytellers who were the panelists for our first Disability Justice virtual experience. I’m also especially grateful for people who have told me and continue to tell me the stories of God’s work in the world. Some of those stories happened last week. Some have been passed down for thousands of years. When I think of the stories of the Bible, some infuriate me. Some confuse me. Some sadden me. The ones which travel with me are like part of my heart – blessing me with life, like part of my mind – guiding me, like a close friend – offering me encouragement….

As I’ve been thinking about stories, I’ve wondered what Bible stories are your favorites and why? If you would be willing to share them with me, I would be very honored and grateful. I hope to hear from you at pastorsarah.friedensucc@outlook.com. 

With gratitude and hope~

Sarah

Give thanks to the Lord, for the LORD is good;
    the LORD’s love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story
