A Moment of Pause

There are times when we all need to stop and refocus. There are silly ways we get slowed down in life. Ways the Lord gets ahold of us to make us focus... or to pause. 

Early December I had a moment of reflection. I got a "pause" inserted into my day. I went to let someone in and found they were not coming into the church, but rather using our parking lot to turn around. The wind was gusting and it caught the door, slamming it behind me. I found myself locked out of the church!
I was so grateful for the smaller entryway. I was also grateful for the small heater that keeps that area warm. I spent several moments praying for those who were out in the cold seeking warmth.

Seeds in My Heart!

I was also grateful for Todd, who was at home planning on coming to the men's Bible study, which was a little over an hour away. He listened to God's prompting, which sent him over to the church early!!! He was able to give me a quick ride over to P.O.P. where Rose was coaching the girls basketball team. Fortunately she had her key with her.


As I returned and opened the door, I looked at that space and thought of all the people who search for spaces like that to keep themselves warm overnight. I don't walk through that entry the same any more.
