Relationships
An important part of our world is our relationships. We have a host of both positive and negative relationships through life. Some are deep and lifelong, others are as fleeting as the person who cut you off in traffic today.
I see them all as gifts from God. By the way, I am writing of relationships with people, not inanimate objects...that we say we love or couldn't live without. God has made us in His image. If we truly want to know Him, we need only to look at the people around us to get a glimpse of Him.
So in all the changes of life around you, take a look at the new relationships that God is gifting you with. Don't be guilty of dismissing any relationship, especially if it is constructive. You may be refusing a gift of God.
Matthew 25:37 (NIV)
37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?"

I feel the need to break the silence.:) You and your wife are very relational and I have always appreciated that about your leadership.
And, you, b-e-g, are very kind. You and your husband are the kind of holy people who, by your presence, affirm us all in the ministry.
