Dear Brothers and Sisters at NFUMC,

          Today I am thinking about gifts, simple gifts, gifts I didn’t do anything to deserve, but there they are.  Last Sunday and Monday were gifts.  To have the wonderful warmth long after I had assumed we were into the winter season.  I was able to clean up a few more gardens and re pot a bunch of houseplants outside.  That was a gift.  Last night I caught sight of a very pretty sunset.  A beautiful sunrise or sunset is such a gift.  Then just as I sat down to write this I saw something in the front lawn bushes. It was a handsome and very busy grouse.  Another gift.  I get so much out of the Bible Studies and the sharing that happens, that is a gift. 

          Hope you can look for these gifts from God deposited like gold into each of our days.

Grace and Peace, Pastor Kim
