GREETINGS TO THE HOLY PEOPLE OF GOD,

How many different kinds of fatigue can you list?

Physical fatigue,

social fatigue,

compassion fatigue,

caution fatigue,

decision fatigue,

post-viral fatigue

There are so many ways to be tired!

But read our lesson from Galatians 6:1-16 for Sunday, July 3. Paul encourages us, "let us not grow weary in doing what is right" (Galatians 6:9), as he encouraged the recipients of this letter. Fatigue is not a new concept and is a part of being human. When we are fatigued, we share it in community and help each other carry the load. We test our own work and each carry our load sharing with each other as we journey together telling God’s good news through Jesus. We work toward the good of all and we eagerly wait for the harvest that will come. Because we work with God and God is faithful and will produce more than we can imagine, in more ways than we can imagine.

In your fatigue, rest, share in community and trust God’s faithfulness to walk with us.
