We had the great privilege of attending Easter Sunday morning celebration at my home church in Litchfield, MI. It was fun to be in the same worship service as my parents, my niece and her children (who all attend there regularly), and my sister and her family, who chose to surprise Mom and Dad by worshiping in Litchfield instead of at their home church.
For most of the service I was very attentive, but there were a couple of minutes when a familiar move in front of me captured my attention. The lady in front of me reached her left hand over her right shoulder and began firmly massaging that place where I often find a tense knot in my own shoulder. As she kept it up, a fleeting thought came to me: Isn’t it ironic that she is sitting just two chairs down from a chiropractor (my brother-in-law) and doesn’t know that one who could be helpful is so close?
Then, my mind went farther down that path. How many people around me are needy and don’t have a clue about the closeness of One who is help for their every need–for their greatest need?
God, alert me to those ones who need to see a life that points to You.
