Two weeks ago the Hustler's Class met at our home. As each car arrived and pulled up the drive, it was a little like getting much anticipated visitors all over again. There was something joyful about it.
Marti Wiebers offered a devotion that invited each person present to recall events in their own lives. Many gave illustrations of being cared for.
Margaret and Nancy Gambill, Dennis Higgins and I narrated a series of pictures taken during the mission trip to Iowa. There were illustrations of caring.As over twenty persons were gathered in the small area of living and dining room, I was very conscious of our house being unfinished. It has been and will continue to be "a work in progress." But that is where we met - where we rejoiced in gathering, in caring, and in being cared for.
That seems to be one description of the church - a place of rejoicing, caring and being cared for in an unfinished house. God has much more in store for us - being the unfinished houses we are.
