I heard the most beautiful thing today. I was sitting in the sanctuary of a Nazarene Church this morning waiting for a community event to start. It was a beautiful sanctuary – wide open with very tall ceilings and just a very pleasant setting overall.
One of our team members from Deeper Waters got up to talk for a little bit about this event. It was an event acknowledging “Hope Heroes” in the Kansas City community. People who have humbly given of themselves to help others gain hope and love in this life. They ranged from school coaches to TV news reporters. A very diverse group of people.
As he began he pointed out the stain glass windows in the sanctuary. They were beautiful! No pictures in them just geometric shapes of many colours pieced together. He simply pointed out the colours being pieced together to make a lovely setting of beauty (my words) and how that’s how people should come together in community. It’s a beautiful thing to have such diversity around us. I think it would be awful if we were all totally alike. BORING! AND most of all the coming together of these different colours makes a magnificent glorious image especially when the sun (Son) shines through.
