I Caught a Glimpse of Heaven

I caught a glimpse of heaven. The focus of our group in Andrews for quite some time has been to “bind up the injured” and bring healing to many Christian hearts that have been hurt for one reason or another; some offended, some rejected, some just ignored. While making many attempts at this, most were met without success until the beginning of “Better Together”. God in His timing has begun to repair relationships that have been fractured for more than 20 years. He has brought in people whose spirits have been crushed and gave them a safe place to belong.

From the very first night, it has been like a family reunion, outrageous laughter and joy, and also our share of tears. We have bonded and found our community in Jesus again. Each week, we have had someone show up that has not been there the week before and instantly they belong.

The simplest things, like going to a couple’s house where the man has Alzheimer’s and singing hymns or visiting with an elderly sister who is mostly homebound have not only blessed them, but amazingly so, blessed and bonded our group even more.

I don’t know what God has planned for us here but we are off to a great start. We covet your prayers for wisdom and guidance, and that this will continue way past the “40 days”.
