I am a firm believer in that Holy moments come during the most unexpected moments sometimes. Like today, for instance, when a man from the church was clearly moved by something that brought him to the front during the invitation hymn. It is so refreshing to see a man cry. That sounds somewhat bad, I know...like I gloat over someone crying, but that's not at all what I mean. Picture this.....a man (in contrast to today's norm, where men are "supposed" to be tough and emotionless beings) coming to the front with tears in his eyes and a heart ready to receive the prayers and encouragement of a pastor. To me, this is moving in itself to see someone humbled enough to come before a large body of people that he loves and that love him to be nurtured.....And you think that wasn't enough...I peer back a few rows and see his child looking at his daddy being hugged and prayed with by my pastor. THAT is the way to show your child the importance of a church family and a relationship with Christ. And that's why, the newest item on my "Qualities of a Husband" list includes this : A man who is not afraid to cry.
PS.....I think my dream job would be to be an advocate for church...how can anyone think its NOT important to your spiritual life?!?
