Blessings can be found in the nitty gritty of everyday life--as we're making breakfast, commuting to work, running errands, or knee-deep in commitments. This week we'll hear Paul's words in Romans where he tells us to take our ordinary, everyday life and place it before God as an offering. When life is messy, the blessing of the ordinary routines and rituals that make up our hours can bring us closer to God and sustain us through the chaos of our world. I hope to see you in church as we explore this together!
