In my former church I was in an inside office that had no window. It was really nice and I had plenty of space and bookshelves which is important to Laurie. However, I did not have a window. My window was my computer screen.
As I look through the window in this new place I see a well manicured lawn, our neighbors homes, an awning that protects the people from the elements and I see the sun. It comes in with radiant light. You can see it in the picture. It is bright. I could almost use sunglasses.
When the miners in Chile came out of the dark hole that could have been their grave, they had to wear sun glasses for a while to protect their eyes and their system from the sudden shock of the light.
Coming to Minco is a bright safe oasis for Laurie and I. The light from this community has already shone into our lives and we are best for it already. We have much light to share and look forward to trying to brighten the corner we enter each day. We are yours. You are stuck with us and we have made a covenant with you for the months and hopefully years ahead.
I am going to enjoy the light of Jesus and His people here in this place. Thank you for being light for us in our lives in this new chapter.
