Monday's thoughts

"Walking Barefoot Through Wet Cement"

Most of the people who have been influential in our lives have been subtle in their influence. It usually isn't dramatic and bold but soft and quiet. It isn't something that is overwhelming but it comes to us almost as a whisper.

The disciples, for example, recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread. It wasn't what he said. It wasn't how he looked. It wasn't anything of a bold clue they picked up on. It was the way he broke the bread. It caused them to remember the last Supper when he took the bread and gave thanks and offered it to them.

I will think through with you next Sunday, April 6th, the influences on our lives and the ways in which we have influence on the lives of the people around us.

Who have been the people of influence on your life and how was that influence brought about?
