this weekend, i house-sat for a family in eau claire. my normal job is to clean for them throughout the week, but this weekend i stayed overnight too while they were away. so on saturday, anna and holland came with me to the house for a bit while i cleaned. anna played piano and holland sat in one of the rooms, and i was surprised at how i felt my spirit rest. i was cleaning the kitchen floor, for heaven's sake, but i felt so much peace! i had been at the house by myself earlier, but something was different about having them there. none of us were talking to each other, but i felt such a knowing of their love.. for me and for God and for people.. it was some sort of radiating deep contentment from both of them that was undeniably the LORD. i've never known such friendships as i have at found at eau claire, and on saturday, adventuring and even just being in the same proximity as these two people i love more than i can say washed the deepest gratitude over my soul as i became more aware of this gift. the gift of people surrounding me who love me from the overflowing of their Jesus-centers. i'm so undeserving.
