Hello everyone! My name is Elise Brooklyn and this is Scattering Flowers, a podcast where we scatter flowers of faith.
I’m so happy to be with you reading the Daily Gospels together.
Let’s get started! Today is Friday, December 6th, and we will be reading Matthew 9, 27-31.
Follow along in your Bible if you have one.
Now let’s read Matthew 9, 27-31.
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, Have mercy on us, son of David.
When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe I am able to do this?
They said to him, Yes, Lord.
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, let it be done to you.
And their eyes were opened, and Jesus sternly charged them, See that no one knows it.
But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Have you ever played the game Two Truths and a Lie?
Let’s play it today! 1.
I’m allergic to lavender.
My mom is a twin.
And 3.
I like to skateboard.
You either have to know me really well to know which are correct, or you have to have faith to believe that I am telling the truth.
The two blind men followed Jesus, trusting in their whole heart that Jesus could give them sight.
This proves their faith and trust in Jesus.
By the way, the lie was, my mom is a twin.
She is not.
Let’s pray.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Dear God, guide me towards full faith and trust in you like the two blind men had in you.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Thank you so much for listening.
I’ll be back next week scattering more flowers.
See ya!
