Normally, we go to church on Saturdays but today dd was performing with the younger girls from their GRACE liturgical dance group camp that the girls held over the last three months. It was fun to watch the little ones!!
The service today was quite good. Have you seen the "Last Lecture" on Youtube? It is really quite heart-breaking. If you haven't, I suggest that you might want to... but make sure you have tissues as this is this man's last lecture... he is dying of pancreatic cancer.
We were focused on Jesus' last lecture on this 6th Sunday in Easter. His parting words for us... are so full of reassurance. He will not leave us orphaned He promises. He will be back and the Advocate will be with us as well til then.
The paralells are fascinating... this professor is concerned with the legacy he leaves his children and that is why he gives the lecture-- not for his students, not for the 6,000,000 who have seen the Youtube videos, no... for his children. Sometimes I think we forget... that Jesus last words there are meant not only for his disciples, but for US who are His children.
He saw us in our times of brokenness, when the people we love pass out of this world, when our hearts are aching with pain, when we despair because of sin... He saw us and reaches out to us reminding...
For lo' I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Be Blessed!
