In just a few minutes Carolyn will arrive home from work at the hospital and I just finished watching a movie about injustice and prejudice. The injustice that many suffer or have suffered in this world is beyond comprehension. Comprehending how badly we can treat each other is and has always been very difficult for me. My life has been a blessed one. I was raised in a loving home and married a loving wife. It has been my privilege to minister to two different congregations of people who also loved me and blessed me in many ways.
For these blessings I am truly thankful tonight. In the midst of the confusion and perplexities of our current pandemic crisis, I find myself rejoicing and thanking God for the fact that, for me, the "boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places" to quote the Psalmist, David. There are 10 of us living here in our home during this time of isolation. We are not feeling very lonely and when I interact with my grandchildren who live with me, I am moved to even greater depths of gratitude. You see, they too are being raised in an environment of love and faith. Their hearts are being shaped in love and peace.
If you are not enjoying peace and love in this season, please start or dig deeper into your own journey with Christ. He will lead you into depths of riches that money cannot buy and manipulation cannot gain for you. Time to hug my wife and crawl under the covers. Good Friday night all!
