As I sit in silence, on a day off from work, I think about where I am sitting. I am sitting in a home of people I met just a few months ago, drinking from one of their mugs, lounging in one
of their plush chairs. Their home has become a place of rest for me. However, it’s strange to think that a year ago, I had not even crossed their paths. People who welcome you into their homes, that is the kingdom here on earth. It is lovely.
Walking into church last night, we had no expectation to meet new people. Most weeks, we quietly walk to our seats, sit down, and wait for the service to begin. Very rarely do people sit near us, but this week was different. God brought two different individuals into our lives. They had no connection to each other, other than meeting us. They each had a different story and each ended up at Door of Hope, that night, for very different reasons. But they were there. They sought the kingdom though church and sharing life with their neighbors. It was lovely.
Through the muck of life, it’s easy to get bogged down by what’s wrong. However, each day there is an opportunity to sit and think about whatever is lovely.
