This week, the Creation Care Task Force Presented a resolution asking UMC churches in Florida to reduce the amount of single use plastic and foam products used in our churches. I was given the opportunity to speak to the conference in favor of this resolution. I spoke on Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man he formed and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it to take care of it” It was the first thing God asked Adam to do. We are also called to take care of the World we’ve been given. Reducing the amount of plastic and foam that ends up in our oceans and landfills is just one way we can do that. Join with me in taking care of the Earth we have today so our children’s children can enjoy it for years to come. #umc #creationcare https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfzGgfFX3D/?igshid=fnees03c1m7w

You don’t have to become a missionary or even leave your home to make a difference in this world. Find a local organization or church to volunteer at, talk to you local, and state senators and representatives about the changes you want to see. Believe it or not, they want to hear from you! You voice matters. Your actions matter. You have the power to change the world. #florida #mission #service #fad2019 #changetheworld #advocacy #justice https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhiemMlcY8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g7wyyqqaqp2q

“But he answered his father, “Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!” ‘ “My son,” the father said, “you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” ’” “Jesus told his disciples: ‘There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, “What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.” ‘The manager said to himself, “What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg – I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.” ‘So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, “How much do you owe my master?” ‘ “Three thousand litres of olive oil,” he replied. ‘The manager told him, “Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifteen hundred.”” Luke‬ ‭15:29-32‬ ‭ 16:1-6‬. #florida #flowers #my_daily_flower #flowerpic #floral #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooms #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #simpleelegance #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYKhgkFlVG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dtfk0gbbgs2j

“I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.” So he got up and went to his father. ‘But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms round him and kissed him. ‘The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” ‘But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” So they began to celebrate. ‘Meanwhile, the elder son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. “Your brother has come,” he replied, “and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.” ‘The elder brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.” Luke‬ ‭15:19-28‬ ‭ #florida #flowers #my_daily_flower #flowerpic #floral #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooms #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #simpleelegance #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVCx3Pg7-x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kuyvykx9k961

“And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbours together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.” In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’ Jesus continued: ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, “Father, give me my share of the estate.” So he divided his property between them. ‘Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no-one gave him anything. ‘When he came to his senses, he said, “How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.” Luke‬ ‭15:9-18‬ ‭ #florida #flowers #my_daily_flower #flowerpic #floral #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooms #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #simpleelegance #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSHHlnAooa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gq2na7w7qvn5

“‘Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure heap; it is thrown out. ‘Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.’”“Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering round to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, ‘This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.’ Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent. ‘Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?” Luke‬ ‭14:34-35‬,‭ 15:1-8‬ ‭ #florida #flowers #my_daily_flower #flowerpic #floral #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooms #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #simpleelegance #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/BpP7Bq8AoC5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4t8b0xg9520c

“I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.” ’ Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. ‘Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, “This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.” ‘Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.” Luke‬ ‭14:24-33‬ ‭ #florida #flowers #my_daily_flower #flowerpic #floral #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooms #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #simpleelegance #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/BpMxdBMAM6H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16c7rhh4jpqda

“But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.’ When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, ‘Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.’ Jesus replied: ‘A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, “Come, for everything is now ready.” ‘But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, “I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.” ‘Another said, “I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.” ‘Still another said, “I have just got married, so I can’t come.” ‘The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.” ‘ “Sir,” the servant said, “what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.” ‘Then the master told his servant, “Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.” Luke‬ ‭14:13-23‬ ‭ ‭#dc #Virginia #washingtondc #flowers #my_daily_flower #nationscapital #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #washingtonmonument #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHg7ndAws_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jwrmr7kx8yeb

“Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?’ But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Then he asked them, ‘If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?’ And they had nothing to say. When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honour at the table, he told them this parable: ‘When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honour, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, “Give this person your seat.” Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, “Friend, move up to a better place.” Then you will be honoured in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’ Then Jesus said to his host, ‘When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbours; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.” Luke‬ ‭14:3-12‬ ‭ ‭#dc #Virginia #washingtondc #flowers #my_daily_flower #nationscapital #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #washingtonmonument #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFFyuxgf7_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gpyc10qy7nnw

“‘There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.’ At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.’ He replied, ‘Go and tell that fox, “I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day – for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” ’”“One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body.” Luke‬ ‭13:28-35‬,‭ 14:1-2‬ ‭#dc #Virginia #washingtondc #flowers #my_daily_flower #nationscapital #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #washingtonmonument #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCftaZA9op/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lbxmr0c78rcm

“Then Jesus asked, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.’ Again he asked, ‘What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about thirty kilograms of flour until it worked all through the dough.’ Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, ‘Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?’ He said to them, ‘Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, “Sir, open the door for us.” ‘But he will answer, “I don’t know you or where you come from.” ‘Then you will say, “We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.” ‘But he will reply, “I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!”” Luke‬ ‭13:18-27‬ ‭ ‭#dc #Virginia #washingtondc #flowers #my_daily_flower #nationscapital #loves_flowers #flowers_and_more_flowers #floweroftheday #instaflora #flowersoninstagram #instaflowers #bloom #blooming #blossoms #flowerphoto #washingtonmonument #simplethings #naturephotography #naturalbeauty #beauty #beautiful #joy #love #peace #hope #godisgood #jesus #flowersmakemehappy #thankgodforflowers‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_wygUAUal/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kioly1ke2m0z
