You don’t have to wait on the Second Coming to experience it–so says my wise friend the Rev. David B. Weber.
My friend the Rev. David B. Weber, senior pastor of First United Methodist in Mesquite, TX., shared an insight on his Facebook page that is too good not to share.
Pastor David said:
This past month:
I saw a Dallas city cop carrying a live copperhead to safety on a shovel, out of his yard and to a creek area.
I saw two young brothers chase a mangy stray dog for an hour, so they could take it home to give it food and water. They got him, finally.
I talked to an 11 y/o neighbor girl about her family’s recent visit to see Grandma in Mexico. “What did you like best?” I asked her.
“The town she lives in was so . . . calm,” she answered. “People on one side of her town know the people on the other side of town! I want to live in a place like that!”
I watched an old man (older than me!) give the checker at Kroger $5 to cover the candy bars not covered by the Lone Star (food stamp) card of the mom in front of him, who was working hard to manage the three little ones with her. “For when you get home,” he told them.”
Four times I experienced the second coming of Christ.
Nobody has to wait; you just have to see, and listen.
A “Big Amen of the Day to That!”
Yes.
