Reminder, 7th Sunday of Easter, May 24, 2020, Ascension Thursday

Exodus 12:  The Lord said to Moses, "Go down at once to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved".

1 Timothy 1:  Indeed the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Luke 15:  My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours.  But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.

It is the flash of the firefly in the night.
It is the breath of the buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
