Matthew 13:31-35

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.

A very happy Monday to you all. It is so beautiful to be back home in Kentucky. Thank you so much for affording us the opportunity to have a family vacation. Rabbouni has been very generous and kind and I am forever grateful.

Yesterday I reflected on what Jesus calls The Kingdom of God. Most of us are familiar with the words but they really do not have much tangible effect. Years ago during the era of President Kenneth Kaunda in Zambia we would say that he had ears and eyes everywhere. Even as children we were afraid to say anything that could be considered negative towards the president. I call it his sphere of influence touched every corner of the country.

The kingdom of heaven isn’t really a place as the name kingdom suggests. It is more the reign of God, the Era of God. It indeed cuts through space and time. Think not of the shrub but the noises of the happy birds who find a home in it. That shrub has a real influence on the birds and the air. We are in the kingdom when we are charged by the aura of God. So today send positive, Godly vibrations into your world.

Love you
