ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
By Sally I. Kennedy

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy
in your presence. Psalm 16:11
A few years back, we had fun planning a special family vacation. My
husband and I, our children and spouses and the five oldest grandkids
were going out west to ski on Spring Break week. We were all very
excited, especially since we live in a warm climate. First morning
almost everyone headed to the ski slopes. My daughter, a new mom, went
for some R&R, and I set out for a walk.
Light snow was flurrying, and even against a grey sky it was
beautiful. Not too far away was a church. I eased into a small back
pew.
Communion was being celebrated during the service. As I made my way up
front, I looked out across the people. So many different faces, so
many different reasons that might have brought them there. No doubt
many had come to simply worship our Lord. Others, though, perhaps out
of desperation, or with a faint hope. I thought, so many different
cries of the heart, yet God hears them all.
Several times over the years I had sought out this peaceful place. It
had always been a safe, sheltering place to pray. It is wonderful to
have the opportunity to go to a church or place of worship to seek God
and meet with Him. However, we can do that anytime, anywhere.
No matter what is on our minds or our hearts, no matter what our needs
or desires are, Jesus is always available to us. Anytime, anywhere.
That is good news.
