Beautiful Day

So I am back from an amazing week at the Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Centre in Beausejour, MB. I am taking a 2 year course on Spiritual Direction. What a wonderful group of people. It will be hard work, but hopefully very rewarding. Yesterday Jim and I spent the day in Meadowlake at Presbytery. That was a long day but productive meeting. Today, our gospel reading in church is from Matthew 20: 1-16 and is the story of the landowner who hires workers all throughout the day only to pay them all the same wage at the end of the day. What do you think about that? Well I don't think this parable is about labour practices or employer-employee relationships, or even about money, I believe this parable is about the graciousness of the love of the Holy and our relationship with one another in the kingdom of God. It is about receiving the love and grace of holiness in our everyday life, no matter who we are of where we are. We are all equal. Something for us to think about. Enjoy your Sunday!
