The Places We Go

Arriving home after being with family for Thanksgiving, we discovered an email from Google.  It informed us that we visited 24 cities and 113 places in September.

Whether accurate or not (we sometimes went places without our phone or with the data turned off on our phones), it does remind us that life has been busy.

A more important question might be:  While at those places did I represent God’s kingdom well?  Did Christ’s rule expand in my own life or in the lives of those with whom we spent time?  Did we witness for Christ?…

Jesus taught his followers to pray: “…Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”  Saying those words may be easier than allowing the Father to act in those ways in our own lives.  Don’t you think so?

Let’s pray those words and also give God permission to answer those requests as we go different places each day.

Praise and Prayer

• Please pray for unity and Christ-inspired fellowship as the Taiwan C&MA pastors and church leaders meet Oct. 16 for the annual denomination business meeting.  The pandemic, political views, societal problems, and personal biases all tend to divide.  We believe that the Holy Spirit wants to unite people in Christ.  Let’s pray for this to happen.
• Praise the Lord for safety as we travelled this past week.  Because of schedule changes, we took some time to rest before joining our daughter and son-in-law for Thanksgiving.  We have much for which to give thanks.
