Holy Ground

Day 39 Doxology: This image was shared with me, and I cannot got it off my mind...not for what you see but what it represents.

This is the entrance to a friend's parent's property.  When his dad got sick, friends rallied around him in support for his lengthy battle with healing.  Some days were better than others.  Some days were unbearable, but he never failed to praise God through it all.  He was witness like I've never seen before.

If you have land in the south, you most likely have had to deal with a "No Trespassing" sign at some point. People have a way of wandering onto your property and often fail to take care of your land like you would.  They might try to hunt not knowing how close they might be to your home or family.  They seem to always leave trash or other evidence of their invasion.  But then there are your friends.

When the sickness was diagnosed, his church family and friends rallied around him and placed the sign "Holy Ground" at the gated entrance.  This sign was to remind everyone that on Holy ground anything can happen.

This weekend is Easter, and many people will come to our church's entrances looking for signs!  What will they see?  Will they see signs that remind them that they need permission to infringe on the space of others, or will they see signs that say this is Holy Ground and here is where anything is possible!
