Sunday after church several of us headed to our favorite chow hall: Grady's. Nothing like their catfish dinner or chicken fried steak. Disclaimer: the picture on the blog is one from the Internet! Not our friends. But they could be!
I know this because at lunch I sat with a couple I'd never met before and thoroughly enjoyed their company. We were brother and sister in Christ. Another couple joined "our" church band and fit like fingers in a glove. Different churches, but no denominational barriers existed. New friends, old friends.... just ordinary Jesus lovers happening into the same dining room at the same time, having a "family reunion."
Isn't it amazing that we can differ in opinions yet share the same faith? Our love of Jesus is what is paramount. I was blessed Sunday with the ease and comfort of sharing our table with others.
Wonder who the people in the picture are? Wonder if they could claim the same relationships we did? For that's what it's all about: relationship.
Today think of one person you could contact and strengthen your relationship. Who knows! Maybe it's the guy in the Stetson.
Colossians 1:3,4 (NLB) We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people.

You know, I've really been thinking about this a lot lately and you've just reinforced it. We can cross the barriers when it comes to Faith and our Lord, we did it at the Olympics, wouldn't it be wonderful if we did it during the election? And then, what if we just continued, all the time?
I bet God's smiling just thinking about it!
I love the fact that the picture is not of you all! :)
