I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:11 (ESV)
My Uncle Floyd’s passing allowed me to experience an unexpected, unforgettable gathering of God’s people.
During January 2021, my husband and I flew to Oklahoma to finish a task my brother and I had started—distributing my Uncle Floyd’s possessions. I had inherited quality furniture and expensive medical equipment that would be costly to ship. Therefore, I called the man who drove my uncle to church.
The friend came with his wife, a young boy, his son, who was a deacon, and the son’s wife. They rented a truck and spent Sunday distributing goods among the needy. I urged them to take whatever they personally wanted.
The process lasted the entire afternoon. My husband and I dished ice cream into paper cups and distributed it with pizza we also found in Uncle Floyd’s freezer. We were quite the lively, happy group of feasting strangers brought together by our relationship with a godly man and bonded together through Jesus. That Sunday was a glimpse of heaven’s gathering.
Stay tuned for more.
