REMEMBER, YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE. Pt. 4

Pt. 4

In the past couple of weeks I was chatting with EM on the instant messaging feature of the social media site to which we each subscribe. It was at this point that my newfound friend presented my wife and I a standing invitation to visit her; should we ever find ourselves in her “neck of the woods.”

The words she used were remarkable for their tenor and construction.

“Remember that

…you have people here.”

I don’t mind saying that I was almost dumbfounded; not by the invitation, per se, but as the result of the words with which the invitation was proffered.

Have I mentioned that Jane and EM and I are Christians? (Well, we are). And I think, no, I am sure, that the bond which exists between us, (and between every other child of the Most High God) is chiefly the result of the relationship which we have previously established with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Remember that you have people here.”

How absolutely precious.

How absolutely amazing.

How absolutely inviting.

Whether I come, or whether I go, or whether I ever manage to make it to New York City again in the course of my lifetime, there is one thing I know, and of which I can be sure.

My friends, I have people there.
