I think I understand “finishing well” and ‘finishing strong” but how about “leaving well”? At the final worship meeting at Wiler (in a converted barn) I entered and found a place. Most of us stood and the music began. The voices started to blend and I looked around at people I will not see again until Heaven.
I did not expect tears but here is how we celebrated our good God. An Italian playing keyboard, Cuban on drum, and Indian on guitar. Then we sang in English, Dutch, Chinese, German, Spanish, and Indian. At one point we sang together in our native tongues and I don’t know how many languages but the message was clear. Lovers of our good God are connected and this little movement that began in Bethlehem continues to circle the globe. We are one and we sound really good. Miss you already…
