Good Evening and Blessings
Today I noticed our neighbours out with large professional looking cameras and binoculars. They were looking over the water with hopes of a whale viewing.
I have observed that whales swim by sporadically with no particular timetable. As they swim along quietly beneath the surface, they suddenly break the water with their massive body,; they are a gift for the observer’s eye. But none were seen today. Maybe tomorrow.
I am hearing that with the quieting of human activity due to COVID 19, the earth is healing. There is less pollution and that means cleaner air. My hope is that we humans recognize the transformation and begin to put more efforts into sustaining this climate change.
Remember to tune into Powell River United Humour Sunday Service and I thank you for sending me some jokes to share.

Blessings and the strength of Love be with you.
Rev. Mary,
Romans 12:3 (The Message)
I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.
Prayer of the Day
Creating God
We are grateful for You
Who breaks the dawn of each new day
Who commands the change of seasons
Who brings new life through resurrection
We are grateful for this gift of life
For the gift of our faith family
For challenges that stir our placidness
For the joys and laughter that brighten our days.
We are grateful for all the creatures who share this life
For the ones who are of the earth
For the ones who are of the air
For the ones who are of the water
We are grateful….
Amen.
