Think about it
The Simple Things
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
We often look for the big things of life for meaning. Marriage, the birth of a child, a new home or job are often at the top of our list of important life events. But are they?
This past week I’ve had a couple of events that have caused me to pause and it’s these types of things that often make us wonder. The events are not huge in the scheme of life, but nevertheless important and perhaps even more heartwarming than the bigger things that we often think of as being significant.
In the Book of I Kings chapter 19 is the story of Elijah. As the story goes Elijah, after having a great experience with the power of God, runs away and hides in a cave. Wanting to hear from God and experience His presence he emerges each time he things he hears what might be God. But it wasn’t the earthquake, or in the fire, but rather a quiet whisper. The same is true for us. We want God to speak loudly and clearly but He doesn’t. Instead, He will often use the simple things of life to speak. Perhaps a voice of a child, or a chance encounter or just a simple event of the day. It’s in those moments that we need to take the time to pause and reflect. Was that God? When you think about it, why wouldn’t it be?
When you consider that God is interested in the simple things of life one would conclude that He must be interested in us as well, (Matthew 6:25-34). Remember that he cares for the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. How much more valuable than these are you and I? That passage reminds us not to be anxious about the things of life, but we do don’t we. Perhaps that’s why He desires to communicate through the simple things of life rather than the big moments. It will often happen in the quiet of the moment when you suddenly become aware. Some have said it was like the passing of the wind that was there, and then gone, but it caused them to pause. Perhaps today is the day for you to pause and explore the simple things. Think about it.

Galeton, Pa. Weather Report For August 2023
In my opinion we have enjoyed a very nice summer stretch of weather. That includes the month of August.
Rainfall has caught up somewhat and we have missed the many predicted severe weather events. We did have a strong wind blow through in June one evening and according to my readings the temperature neared 90 one day in July.
For the month of August we had morning readings in the 50s and 60s. It hit 70 on the morning of the 6th. Good sleeping weather. Afternoon readings were in the high 70s and low 80s. We had 18 foggy mornings and 6 thunderstorms.
Perfect grass growing weather allowed everyone to get out on your tractors and mow. Now comes leaf raking or mulching followed by plowing snow. Keep those John Deeres ready.
The average high temperature for August is 76 degrees and the average low is 54 degrees. The average rainfall for the month is 4.03″ We received 6.82″. Pine Creek looks very good for this time of year.
August seems to have flown by. Now the months will start to slow down.
