Three in One

I thought I would do a quick blog before leaving the house for several hours. It's a cloudy, misty day here in the old north state; however, it is another beautiful day! You probably think I'm some kind of weird-do, but I do think cloudy days are pretty days. Everything is just so green and fresh looking: like God thought it was time to clean all of His forests and other creations. (Not to forget that we need the water badly too, since we are about 6 inches below normal). I noticed the trees around our home look so refreshed, so relaxed under the weight of the raindrops that have rested upon their upturned leaves. (Perhaps they, too, are lifting their limbs in thankful adoration for our Master).

Our pastor preached yesterday on the Trinity, something that is most difficult to understand (even to him, he confessed). Perhaps I am naive as a child because I received a blessing from his time with the little children. I thought his analogy was perfect. He was trying to provide a meaningful explanation to the children about the Trinity by using a boom box. Now, we all know that God cannot be compared to a boom box; yet the explanation worked for me. This particular boombox had 3 major parts to it: a radio, a CD player, and a cassette player; but, the boom box remained a boom box, just with 3 different parts or functions. The pastor also used an actor who wore 3 different masks during the same play but still remained the same man beneath. God is Three in One. AND, we need to know God as Abba the Father, as Jesus the Son, and as the Spirit that dwells within all Christians. This makes perfect sense to me. Holy, Holy, Holy ... God in 3 Persons ... Blessed Trinity.
