I posted a request for prayer about 1 month ago for a family member (Penny) who was facing cancer surgery for the 2nd time. She has had the surgery and the pathology came back completely negative. Thank you to any amd all who prayed for Penny. God has heard our prayers.
I want to invite you to close your eyes and picture your hurt – the ways you’ve experienced pain and hurt in the church, maybe generally or maybe very specifically or even recently – picture it as an actual wound on your body.
How does this impact our spiritual practices of loving one another well? How do we be present in absence? Is that even possible?! How can we help carry each other’s hearts, when I can’t be in the room with you?
“Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” I love that translation of this verse...
