One Life

Staff meetings are usually boring things…or so I’m told. I can imagine they can be pretty painful at times! But the staff meeting I just left was actually quite inspirational. It was amazing to sit and listen to those seasoned leaders who have been doing the stuff for so long – wisdom just oozes out of them and makes puddles on the floor.

This morning a couple who have been serving the church for years announced that they were moving on, and even though I don’t really know them, I was moved. There is something very beautiful in finishing well. They have the respect and honour that is due to those who have been faithful in their service. They have seen great fruit, and leave the ground still full of life for those who follow. I have nothing more to say, really, other than the fact that I want to be like them.
