I was totally "refreshed" at the get-to-gether last Saturday morning. Perhaps "refreshed" isn't expactly the right word. I think "buzzed" and "energized" are better discriptors. About 15 people were present for the meeting in our colorful and peaceful "H2O" cafe complete with steaming coffee, bagels, fruit etc. Pastor Lisa always does a great job keeping us all on track. The hearts of the people were bright and brilliant..as always. I don't remember all the namesof the people. There were a couple of things shared that warmed my heart so much. There was a woman there who seemed dedicated and passionate bout the Hands of the Lamb ministry..she owed it in her heart..it is a part of her. Then there is Gary who explained that he calls people in his small group every week and prays with them...just another picture of a man with a beautiful heart..one of many in this house. Then there is the woman who cried as she shared about her small group and the impact it has had on her. It is not unusual for at least one person to become publically emotional during a meeting at this church. It is a very deep and powerful experience to have eternal relationships that reach down into the very depth of our soul. We are living in eternity now. Death is only a transition and separation from our flesh. It is comforting to know that our relationships stay in-tact now and after the transition because they are eternal.
