Gathering Wonder

Jesus said,
"For where two or three
have gathered together
in My name,
I am there
in their midst."
(Matthew 18:20)

The gathering is beginning.
We are making our preparations to come.
From north and south,
from east and west,
we will soon be gathering.
Driving or flying,
we will be gathering.
From many and varied situations,
from countless circumstances,
we will come together
in Jesus's name.

And, wonder of wonders,
Jesus will be there-
in our midst!

Come, Lord Jesus!

Thank You, God, for these wonders of Your love:
353. a dryer repaired, humming softly
354. being reminded of the holiness of a clothesline
355. stepping outside into birds everywhere
356. Mr. and Mrs. Redheaded Woodpecker
357. flashing cardinals
358. so many robins singing of Spring
359. the light of the moon causing me to look up
360. bright shining Jupiter
361. ironing the funeral clothes
362. a pew full of our family
363. Cousin Alicia's strong Spirit singing of "The Anchor Holds"
364. sunshine and blue skies for the dirt road drive
365. "Andrew was such a man"
366. John Mark calling to offer Joe a job
367. Beth's shimmery black shoes
368. Caylin's smile

With gratitude,
Sally
