I wish we had time to hear some of yours. One of mine is about such a choice - the choice to live a different life and make space for others. You will remember it. Maybe it touches you today. I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Generosity makes enchanting space open for others.
We have in our church a woman now elderly who as a child went with her own mother. We want to make enough space so that we don't leave anyone behind. The faith that you have received by God's grace, those who have received the holy spirit here in Bloomington, has made open space. The earth will be full of the glory of God as the water covers the sea. This surprising generosity that opens space for the newcomer also has a way over time of kindling a moderate response on our part.
