Proper 15 (20)
August 17, 2008
Genesis 45:1-15; Psalm 133; Romans 11:1-2, 29-32; Matthew 15:10-28
1 How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
2 For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil
that was poured over Aaron’s head,
that ran down his beard
and onto the border of his robe.
3 Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
even life everlasting.
I realized this morning that in all the business of the last week, I forgot to at least post the readings. I really like this passage from the Psalms. How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony. The passage from Genesis, tells us about the reuniting of Joseph and his brothers. Joseph said, “All is forgiven.” There is always a certain peace when we live together without conflict. It isn’t always easy (trust me. I know these things.) I do make it my goal to live in harmony with my family and friends. Blessings…
