GOOD SAMARITAN CHURCH THE MESSENGER VOLUME 107 ISSUE 8 AUGUST 2018 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK LETTERS TO MY CHILDREN FAITH AND FEAR Dear Beloved Community Over the next few months my newsletter articles will look a bit different They are letters to my children that I am allowing you to overhear Yes someday perhaps I will give them to my children Jacob Joelle and Lizzy to read but I am writing them more than anything because it seems to me in a world like the one in which we are living today tapping into a perspective of love such as a parent s love for their children is of utmost importance FAITH FEAR Dear precious children of mine who pulled out a courage and a love in me deeper and stronger than I ever knew existed within me You are already learning that the world can be a scary place Where once you leapt into our backyard pool without giving it a second thought trusting so fully and completely that mommy or I would be there to catch you now you approach swimming with some healthy trepidation It is good I suppose that you have realized your moms limitations that we are human and no matter how much we might love you we may be looking the other direction or not near enough by to scoop you out of the water Sometimes caution in life is necessary and good and sometimes the dangers are real Many of your fears right now are of imagined things like the monsters that go bump in the night When you grow up you will realize many grown ups fear imagined things as well We fear things that are different because we don t know them Just like the monsters in your room sometimes you will realize that the thing you thought was a monster is really just something or someone harmless and mundane once you turn on the lights reach out touch it and get to know it a bit like when you see a shadow click clacking across your bedroom floor in a thunder storm and discover it is only one of our dogs come looking for comfort and a snuggle Someday I will have to explain to you how adults in our country were so scared of an imagined threat at this moment in history that we took tiny children from their parents caged them up and treated them inhumanely I will have to explain how we were so scared we put children younger than you on trial with no representation their feet dangling from their court room chairs crying as the judge questioned them You will judge those of us who were grown ups during this moment in time with the same harshness with which we judge those who were adult citizens during internment camps When you see the tear streaked faces of those children in your history books you will look at us with the same comic disbelief as I look at you when you say you are scared of the dog whimpering in the thunder I have tried 1 to act I have tried to not be complicit in this moment in history but someday you will ask me why I didn t do more You will expect courage from me I know that to answer your questions someday I will have to continue to do more today and be even more courageous than I am now for I hope and expect you to be a people of courage too You will discover when you grow up that some monsters are real and sometimes they can t be defeated by spraying the magic anti monster potion we use in your room at night Sometimes they will be more difficult to defeat And sometimes they won t be your monsters They will be someone else s I hope and expect you to be people of compassion who listen to those who are crying out for help and come to their aid even if sometimes that means walking into danger I hope and pray you discover that when you are working for good you have the continued on page 5

FROM THE PASTOR S DESK continued from page 1 power of our invincible God on your side You know little about death right now but you will find that what grown ups fear more than almost anything is death having life stolen from them or the life of their loved one stolen I hope you realize when you are older that there are things worse than death like not knowing you are loved thinking you are alone never giving yourself wholly in love hating yourself with a soul sucking shame being paralyzed in a bitter rage or never living because of overwhelming fear I hope you develop a faith that no one can steal your life or your value from you that God has given it to you as an eternal gift and that you are never alone or without love This is hard to say as your parent for I never want you to get hurt but I hope you dare to love even when it costs you greatly I hope you realize there are sometimes higher goods and grander values and visions more important than fighting to defend yourself or running away even though yes fight or flight is our natural instinct I hope like Jesus you realize the mighty counter intuitive power of vulnerability that what the world deems weak things like truth authenticity humility love hospitality are really the powerful mountain movers able to change your life and in fact the whole world Moms might try to convince you otherwise when we get scared for you but I hope you remind us of this truth Many adults haven t learned it yet We think we need a whole lot of other things to make us feel safe Someday I will have to explain to you why right now at this moment in history as your mommy and I prepare to send you off to school for the first time parents all across the country are scared to send their kids to school Soon you will have your first lock down active shooter drills and you too will be scared needlessly so Why Because we are a country addicted to our fears and the things that make us feel protected even if they are weapons of mass murder even if it is only a false sense of safety they provide Even harder to explain will be that the majority of the country didn t want such reckless access to these weapons you will spend your school years fearing but we lost control giving our political power away to for profit interests who care little for your safety and only about their bottom line Yes people kill people not guns but you won t understand why we gave some people with known histories of violence mental illness etc access to such weapons even if you do understand the need in a republic for people to have the freedom to arm themselves In the face of such a reality you will have to discern just as we your moms have how to walk the line between faith and fear how to take healthy precautions and healthy risks how not to overreact or return violence for violence how to stay open and hospitable in a world that may make you want to build a fortress around yourself God knows sometimes your mommy and I want to build a fortress around you or never send you anywhere with danger But we know that is not what is good for you or the world to which God has gifted you If we can t do it in our generation I pray that you and your peers find a way to beat the weapons of the world into plowshares turn tools of destruction into life giving tools that build community Finally my children one day you will learn that sometimes even more than what might be lurking in the dark grown ups are scared of what might not be there the safety nets for things like healthcare a roof over our head food education jobs community support etc We squint and strain our eyes into the future just as you strain and squint into the dark of your room at night and we pile away what we can if we can for what might be or what we may not find there Just the other day your mommy and I were talking about whether we are storing away enough to care for you our miracle child Jacob who is such a wonderful and special presence in the world and who may need a little extra help and support as an adult We wondered what kind of burden we might be leaving for you our daughters as his sisters when we are no longer around Grown ups worry about such things I hope and I pray that you will be the kind of people who work to build the kind of justice generosity and beloved community in this world that makes such worries obsolete I hope and I pray that you will be the ones others will find when they strain 5 and squint looking for support I firmly believe that Jesus showed us how to make heaven on earth if only we dare to try If you ever fully love someone whether a child a spouse or someone else you too will discover the deep well of love and courage which exists in you deeper than you ever imagined possible You will find and probably with some awe at the power of this love that you would give your life for this one s you love without even a moment s hesitation if only you could save them from harm If you are blessed enough to find that kind of real raw powerful love spend the rest of your life learning how to harness it and direct it not just to your spouse or your children or people who look and act like you but to strangers and people very different from yourself If you can do that you truly will have drawn close to the heart of God My precious children more than anything know always that what you hope for is more important than what you fear that what you build in faith and love is far more worthwhile than what you build out of worry It won t always be easy to tell the difference just as it is not always easy for your mommy and I to distinguish our love for you from our fear for you But they are different Remember that other parents love and fear for their children too and all children are God s children Remember that other parents love and fear for their children too and all children are God s children Remember also that some parents children grow up to do some of the monstrous things that happen in our world but if their parents love is truly unconditional they don t stop loving them or believing they are much more than monsters and neither does God No one is all monster Listen throughout your life to the most repeated commandment in the bible Do not fear I hope that it becomes much more than a commandment for you and instead a way of life You will change the world if you live by faith dear ones With all my love Mama Pastor Jen
