Today we had the big open house. We invited our friends and family to stop by and take a little tour of our new home and to share in some delicious snacks. We also wanted to enjoy some good company.
The preparation was the tough part though. We had to make sure everything was clean and tidy. We had to do the shopping. We had to make sure everything was in order. I can tell you that Lori and I were on each other's nerves a bit as we had different priority lists. t one point we even considered calling it off.
It got me thinking our own encounter with God. Sometimes we work so hard to make ourselves presentable that it causes us to shy away from even meeting him. We are so worried about what God will think. We are not sure he will accept us. The good news is that God can't wait to be up close and personal with you. He knows you aren't perfect but he loves you anyway. He loves you because you are you. So why worry?
By the way, the open house went great. It was fun and everyone enjoyed seeing the house. I guess we worried for nothing. They were really coming to see us after all.
