What's In A Chair????

Being an urban missionary is pretty cool. Yea, I'll admit it that it has it challenges but I get to see God at work every day where I work. With that said what's in this chair??? Well, an opportunity, a chance. It is where you can find rest, solace, and solitude. Here you can lighten your load and forget about things just for a few minutes. Sometimes a chair like this can be used in games. You ever play musical chairs? What about train wreck (madd fun btw)? Sometimes a chair like this can be used for punishment (ie. Super Nanny’s naughty chair). This particular chair was the place that a 4th grader met Christ in a very real way. She recognized her need for a savior right here in this chair. Nothing magical but very realistic! She met her creator. She had an encounter with the one who knows her better than anyone. In a chair! Wow. What an honor to be there when it happened. Now she knows for sure that she is has a relationship with Christ. That is definitely worth all the bad days I've had and will continue to have while on the job! The next time you see someone sitting in a chair, ask yourself how can this be about more than just sitting down? Can this person meet the God of the universe right where they sit too?
