“For in Christ Jesus…the only thing that counts is faith working through love.”
– Galatians 5:6 (NRSVue)

Jude Kerr Krehbiel shared this reflection with Tiny Retreats, to accompany this photo:
“This rose, growing in my garden, in my mother’s garden before mine, and in my grandmother’s garden before that, was brought to the US from Bavaria by my grandfather’s family back in the mid-1800s and my family has been able to keep it going all these years. The fragrance is wonderful, like no other rose, and always a reminder of the dreams of those who came before and the hope for those who come after.”
Have you experienced a similar continuity of faith, hope, and love that has been kept alive over the years and through generations? Can you think of an example in your family or another community to which you belong?
