Our family has been attending a church in town since last Spring. Well, maybe not so much in the summer, but we are back in routine.
Travis and I fight over very little. Actually, I can count the number of true arguments we have had. Two. One on our honeymoon about where we were going to eat. It was ridiculous, and attributable to too much sun and very low blood sugar on both our parts. The second was over timeliness. Travis and I will look at the same clock and I will see five minutes until we are late, and he sees 5 minutes to spare. We are just apples and oranges.
So, after rushing out the door this morning, hair still wet, dropping the kids off in the nursery, we just make it in the pew. Or, if you ask Travis, we timed it just right so we were seated just as the opening prayer begun. It takes me about half the service to come down off my timliness gumpiness, right around the time for our minster's sermon. Today it was timely, and a good reminder for us all. The gospel was about money as is mentioned in over 800 places in the bible. Her point, it is just money. It comes, and it goes. As she put it...
"Every morning a man goes to get his coffee and immidiately walks to the bathroom to dump it in the toilet stating "There, I'm not the middle man"." Oddest thing you'll ever hear in church, and yet spot on. It will come and it will go. It is the REST of what is here that matters.
Maybe I will go apologize to Travis for being a bit snappy when we were late this morning. Right in time perhaps for him to comment how great it was that we were there right on time today.
Happy Sunday!
