In today’s Gospel text (Mark 4:26-34), Jesus tells us about the mustard seed and how it grows into a bush that all the birds can find shade in. How is God calling us to grow - that we would be the ones who help others find their support, their “shade” - their place of refuge? We can compare it to the Ezekiel text - also finding birds who have their place to sit in the shade - which comes after a time of extreme difficulty but eventually turns into a promised blessing. We have also been through difficult times - but God will send times of blessing - and strengthen us to be a blessing to others! God’s peace - Pastor Andreas+
