He Has To Be Pleased

Jake Rasmussen | November 7, 2007 | 7:55 pm

Not sitting in a church building but I just saw the act of a disciple.  It wasn’t a bible reading, a prayer, a committee meeting, a youth retreat.  I was sitting in my “office” and looking out the window and just witnessed a beautiful expression of the church, of a disciple.

I learned that a friend’s sibling just found out they have cancer.

A hug.  A simple gesture saying that, I am here.  I care.  I am sorry.  It was without words.  If there were words I couldn’t hear it as I was inside.

That is a part of a church which I desire to be a part of.  One of compassion and willingness to walk though life together.  The good things and the bad things.

What about you?   How did you see the church today?
