Not Alone

God makes a home for the lonely . . . Psalm 68:6a

Our good friends, Don and Be are on their way home from China with their beautiful little girl, whom they have just met. They are great bloggers and allowed their friends and family to rejoice, cry and pray with them through this journey. Someone posted a comment with the above verse. Isn't it beautiful? We are not alone. At our little church we make a home for one another and a house of worship for our Lord. Nothing is too big or too small to share.

Mark prayed out loud that I would find my new glasses--which I've already lost. I felt my face go beet red. I so ashamed of losing such a valuable item. It also seems petty when some are facing far greater challenges. The Lord touched my heart to reveal my self-centeredness. What does it matter if everyone knows I'm a fool! After church, several people encouraged me, laughing and sharing tales of things they've misplaced.

I still haven't found the glasses, even after gathering up my last shreds of dignity to go ask at the Town Hall if anyone had turned in a lost pair. But, I am not alone!
