How would you finish that statement? Child? Mustard seed? It has been completed many different ways over the years. Sunday, I worshipped in a church that has a thriving ministry for adults with special needs. Those who most of society has cast aside. Those that make many stare, cringe, or change seats in a movie theater. Here, they are welcomed, embraced, & encouraged. They sit among the rest of the congregation as one united body of believers...no judgement, no running away. One man in particular caught my eye this week. He sat on the very front row...you know, the one that most of us avoid like the plague. As praise songs were sung, he clapped and danced and smiled and sang wholeheartedly. Some might consider that a distraction...inappropriate for Sunday morning worship. I found it humbling. His faith is so genuine and pure that he cannot keep still...it pours out of him without shame or concern of what others might think. How freeing! I want THAT faith.
Real.Absolute.Joyous.
