There was a man who attended the same church as my daughters and I do. He was a “poor sort”, if you will and was often sitting alone near the front of the church. Every week, at least once and usually several times, he’d stand up, turn around and then sit back down. There is a clock in the back of our church and I always figured he was standing to check the time.
A few weeks ago, he passed away leaving no family behind and during the following Sunday’s church service, the pastor honored this man’s life. He mentioned how he’d always stand up during the service but instead of assuming, as I had, that he was checking the clock, he suggested that he was looking for Jesus as it’s been said He may show up anywhere. What a nicer thought than mine!
So, may we all keep looking for Jesus; particularly as we await the celebration of his birth and may we live as he would want us to so that if and when we finally meet him, he looks favorably upon us.
Have a wonderfully stress-free day!
