attractive

A meeting day. Meeting different people, at different points, all through the day.

Folk were coming from all over the country to a meeting here from late morning through until mid-afternoon. One arrived good and early - before I was back from seeing some other people. He was highly impressed by the welcome he received from the lady who does our cleaning here.

She's a marvel. Her cleaning is top of the range in terms of the work that she does. And she's always so amazingly warm and welcoming - to absolutely everyone. This guy was so impressed by her that he felt obliged to comment on the welcome that he was given.

That's how it's meant to be.

The gospel lived out in the lives of his people. it's very powerful stuff.

We were reading the other Sunday morning what Paul has to say to Titus about teaching his people to translate the gospel into every sphere of their lives, including their working lives -

".. so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Saviour attractive."

That's exactly what this lady invariably does! An object lesson for us all.
