Chosen

“It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables” (Acts 6:2).

And Stephen is chosen. To wait on tables. 

Doing so full of grace. 

Full of God’s power.

Faithful in the ways of the Lord.

The other pandemic

We meet for lunch. Fellowship over Mediterranean food. Simply connecting while all around us the global spread of a virus ensues. Intensifies.

Events cancel. Borders tighten. Universities move to virtual classrooms. Our best-laid plans are disrupted. Interrupted. Changed.

We sit in sunshine and cool air. Sisters conversing about life journeys. Children. The hard and unexpected turns in the path this past year. The joy of following Him.
