Thanksgiving Message for the LAAMB

We Can Live With Less And Feel Blest! Quietly accept the message planted in your heart; it can bring you good news from God. Thanksgiving is a time when we think of our many blessings. This year for thanksgiving I am thinking about the new blessing I have been given because of this special time. There is a funny story about a 5-year-old boy who is trying to get his parents to let go of the idea of him using a booster seat at the dinner table. On this one occasion the family went out to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate the father’s birthday. The mother and the father who are quite hungry, go up to the buffet table immediately to get their food. The 5-year-old didn’t go for the food because he wanted to sit in a chair without a booster seat. He was so proud of himself sitting in this chair all by himself! There he was sitting rather proudly in his own chair without a booster. Then the waiter comes along bringing a booster seat for the boy. The boy tells him he doesn’t need it, so the waiter puts the booster on the mother’s chair and says, I’II just leave it for your mom then!” The boy replies “that’s O.K. she doesn’t need it either, she let go of that years ago. Sometimes, like the little boy, letting go of something can be easy for us if we look at it in a different way. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it has shown us that we can do with less. Also, living with less has enabled us to discover new blessings. Now we would much rather have the freedom to visit our friends, gather around the Lords table for communion and not wear a mask. But in this different light of this life-threatening time, we have done without many things that we are used to. Think for a moment how many of the things that you have done without in the last seven months.

Now just reflect on that for a moment (pause) Now think of all the blessing that have come about in this special time because we let go of all those things. Here are a few:

• Our eyes are being opened to see just how dependent we are on God.

• We are being humbled, seeing how little control we really have.

• We really don’t need as many of those material possessions that we thought we do.

• We are becoming stronger in our faith taking daily reflection time to reflect on God.

• Our prayers are becoming more specific for others.

• We notice more of God’s beautiful creation.

• We are spending more time in that creation, walking/stopping to see and hear new things.

• We are taking the time to meet new people.

• We are thinking of others more than ourselves. And you will add many more to the list. But all these and I call them blessings, happened because we were called not to live the same way but live differently and in a new way. So this Thanksgiving I will be thinking of all these new blessings that I/we have all been given. We have not only learned that we can live with less but we now know that there are many more blessings out there than we first thought. God showers us with his blessings not only for us but that we might have more of them to share with others. Like that little boy who was trying to get his parents to let go of the idea of him using a booster seat, we are letting go and letting God in our lives and we have more blessings to share because of it. We can live with less and feel blest! Quietly accept the message planted in your heart; it can bring you good news from God. Lore and I and my family wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving with all those new blessings.

The Parable of the Yeast Matthew 13:33

“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.” Jesus often made his teaching more readily understood by referring to common, everyday experiences. In this parable, he takes us right into our kitchens. The action of yeast takes place quietly; it does not call attention to itself. “He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.” Dough made with yeast is forgiving. The ingredients and the quantities may be varied and still produce good bread. Dough that is left to rise too long will collapse, but it only needs to be gathered up and reshaped to bake successfully. Strength is another characteristic that yeast shares with the kingdom of heaven. Sometimes I refrigerate dough overnight for baking the next day. Once there was too much dough for its usual bowl so I refrigerated it in the largest container in my kitchen – an enamelled cast iron Dutch oven. By morning the dough had risen so that it not only filled the casserole but had also raised its lid and the shelf above it. The weight of a cast iron lid and a shelf of food could not resist the strength of the yeast. “Suffering produces perseverance (and) perseverance, character.” Once I lived in a flat in a private home where my Hungarian landlady sometimes made ‘serviette bread.” When the dough was ready for rising, she would wrap it in a towel and place it in a large bowl of water. She told me the story that gave the bread its name. A woman was making bread but the dough refused to rise. Finally, in exasperation, she bundled it into the towel that was draped over it and threw it out the window. Later, as she went out to the garden, she noticed that the dough had fallen into the rain barrel. It had risen beautifully so she retrieved the dough and baked it. The bread was delicious.

Jesus said, “He who comes to me will never go hungry.” For centuries, bread has been a basic food to sustain physical life and is sometimes referred to as “the staff of life.” Jesus values little things – a cup of water, a widow’s offering, a child – and so shows us that a small gift, a simple act of kindness, a word of comfort or encouragement, can help to make the kingdom of God a reality, “on earth as it is in heaven.” And, to illustrate this truth, he uses something as insignificant as a teaspoon of yeast.

Alain and his winter squash... ‘Lunga di Napoli’ I wanted to try to grow the large winter squash you see in the markets in Florence but was not able to find seeds for it. Last January I went to the market in San Ambrogio, found a woman who was selling this squash and asked her if she had seeds for it. She rummaged in her garbage and gave me a handful of seeds (she insisted it was a gift - she did not want any money). It produced a giant plant 15 feet wide, reaching the top of a 8 foot tall trellis, and the one squash in the photo below.

Now I am thinking that had I left it on the vine longer, it might have grown even bigger! I had to sit for the picture as it is rather heavy. I now have to find people who will take a piece of it when I chop it up!

Parish Partnership Council Update

Meeting – September 9th A great deal of time at our regular PPC meeting dealt with the recommendations from the Diocese of Huron and the Eastern Synod, including the review completed by our own parish ’Resumption of In Person Worship Committee’, which was chaired by Helen Wheeler. The group started with a 29-page document and a 8 page document and managed to whittle it down to a more manageable 6 page document for our churches. Still as Helen reviewed the list of requirements many still felt it was a fairly onerous task we were facing. Even though we understand the reasoning behind all the do’s and don’ts. This document has now been passed on to your Church Council for customization based on the specific activities, building structure and requirements of your members. This work will need to be completed prior to your actual re-opening. We reviewed our parish finances and thank everyone for their continued support. We are aware it has been more of a struggle for some than others but your faithfulness in supporting our parish is greatly appreciated. St. Edmund’s reported that they have continued with their in-person bible study (maintaining social distancing) and have found it to be very uplifting especially during this time. St. Peter’s Sauble which is one of summer church’s that never had an opportunity to even open its doors this summer, held 2 council meetings over the phone and when they held their Vestry meeting, they had almost every member there. St. Margaret’s was pleased to report that they continue to have summer travellers drop by the church. They have received many positive comments about the church being left open, people were grateful of the opportunity to take a few minutes for reflection in one of the few churches available this summer. The gratitude was so extensive someone came back and donated a dozen rolls of toilet paper! Charlotte Ewbank Recording Secretary

Sunday Humour

Preacher The Preacher awoke one Sunday morning and saw it was a beautiful day, and thought to himself, I don't want to go to church today. he called his associate and said, "I'm sick, would you preach for me today?" His associate assured him he would. St. Peter looked at God and said, "Are you going to let him get by with that?" God said, "No I'm not." The preacher put his golf clubs in the trunk of car and drove fifty miles away to a golf course where no one knew him. Once again St. Peter said, "God are you going to let him get by with that?" God said, "No I'm not." The preacher teed up the ball and hit it. It flew like it had never flown before, about 350 yards, bounced about three times and went into the hole for a hole in one.

St. Peter looked at God and said, "God are you going to let him get away with that?" God smiled and said, "Who is he going to tell?"
