Sweet Spirit

Today in the midst of sadness there was a sweet sweet spirit. My husband's uncle passed away earlier this week. Today was his funeral. The funeral was at a little country church in which he had attended for years.

In the most grim of times, I could not believe how I felt the overwhelming presence of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The men from the funeral home had the family wait downstairs in the church. As I leaned against a wall, I noticed a tapestry hanging in front of me. The tapestry read, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2."

I started thinking about that verse and that little country church. You see this church was built in 1938. It was simple and sweet. In these fast paced, technological times we get away from the real reason we are here and what our jobs are while we are here on this earth for a brief while. Maybe we need to simplify our lives.

It is my prayer that I do not conform to this world, but that I may conform to the perfect will of my Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus for your presence. Oh how I felt your sweet spirit today.

Love your child,

Melissa
