Who moved?

Last night we got to spend an evening with 150 of our 'older' friends at an annual holiday dinner that our church hosts for seniors that live in some of the local senior apartment complexes and assisted living centers. It was a great night and a good time was had by all.

Deb and I are lucky enough to get to spend one Sunday afternoon a month with several of these great people at a Bible study we lead at one of the complexes. To tell you the truth we probably get more out of it than they do. I love hanging out with 'older' people mostly because they are just fun. However, their years of experience also seem to give most of them a simplistic wisdom that refocuses me on what is important in life. And since we usually get to hear most of the stories multiple times their lessons usually eventually sink in. One of the things I have learned from my friend Lillian (pictured above) is this. When you feel like God is far away, ask yourself this: Who moved?
