On Sunday the choir sang the worship service at Luther Manor.
They have a beautiful chapel and it filled with old people who walked in on their own; people with walkers; people in wheelchairs. We saw people get guided in because they wanted to worship and didn't want to be confined to their roomsfor worship on a rainy Sunday morning.
Whatever their health, these people got up, got dressed and came to church. How many healthy people stayed in bed yesterday and skipped worship? How many self-titled Christians didn't even remember to pray yesterday morning? How often has that been me?
Sometimes in retrospect we find faults with something that we enjoyed in the moment. This experience had no fault.
Yesterday I went to a worship and could feel the faith, see the people praying, hear the Lord's Prayer said in strong voices, weak voices, voices that didn't sound at all but eyes that shone while they heard the words Christ gave us to pray...this is why we were there.
Our faith wavers and our vision gets blurred, but every now and then we see our commitment in action. We faced more years of faith than we could possible imagine and felt the joy of the worship. We saw eyes that couldn't read or see clearly, yet could see God in their own lives every day. We were thanked by men and women - the older and very old - by nodding heads and held hands. We saw smiles and received hugs.
We made a difference because God led us to Luther Manor and helped us serve Him.
THANK YOU, LUTHER MANOR!
