The readings for this week for the 2nd Sunday after Christmas are: Jeremiah 31:7-14 or Sirach 24:1-12, Psalm 147:12-20 or Wisdom of Solomon 10:15-2, Ephesians 1:3-14, and John 1:(1-9), 10-18. This week we look at how nature and many things around us have a season to slow down and gather together. Do we as people allow ourselves to do the same? This week we talk about many of these and how they are needed in order for them to survive and thrive. This is something I think we all can learn from. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:
