Ministry of Presence

I bet that in the final tally, 95% of our “ministry opportunities” involve just being present in somebody’s life – you know, “in the right place at the right time”. If only I could remember this…

A friend of mine has been struggling lately with the loss of a loved one, and I realized that I haven’t been very available to him. So I spent some time hanging out, drinking his excellent homebrewed pilsner, and talking sports – nothing deep or obviously soul-transforming, but just what he needed, I think.

++Lord, show me your ways; remind me of the simplicity of following your Spirit’s lead++
