I
am sitting at home tonight tired. I have just gotten back from being
a part of the church’s great amazing race. All I can say is wow.
Who would have guessed that over 100 people would give up a Sunday
afternoon to participate in a race and not just a race but an amazing
one? Being the minister allowed me to talk to many about their
experiences. I heard about a police person getting a hug and a
McDonald’s worker who was impressed with the pay it forward people
coming through her window.
But
the one that spoke to me the most was the family who looked at the
list of things to do and they needed to make a memorable event. They
asked their children and one of them said spending the time together
in the race was memorable to them. I love that happening. Often in
the church we do not see the results of our ‘work.’ So, it is
refreshing to hear of lives being touched by God. Strange how God
works at times. He uses a race to touch families. I love how God
works. He never stops and works through all of life’s happenings.
In the days ahead I am going to look closer at all the events in my
life and look more closely for God’s creative ways.
