Amongst these walls beauty is budding, living vessels are relinquishing control and present is the precious touch of the Holy Spirit. A spiritual greenhouse has been established in this city and the fruit is pulsing out into our Canada. To the beautiful ones who have poured into the foundations of this house- we honour you. Your names, leadership, friendships, sacrifice and prayers are etched into our hearts and we bask in the endless possibilities the Father grants to thank him for this privilege.
My heart has been detained for two individuals in particular. They draw on the hours of each day to assemble the meals which fuel the teaching, worship and prayer offered up in this house. Their example of openhandedness is precious and is a demonstration that I will hold dear as I make my own decisions. The collaboration within their marriage amazes me. It is rare and it is beautiful. It is something I can see they have worked towards – bringing the scripture “wives, submit to your husbands… husbands love your wives” (Ephesians 5:22, 25) alive and real before my eyes. Lee and Helen it is evident you have wholeheartedly surrendered and find your joy in the sacrifice.
Thank you for setting this banqueting table for us. Thank you for preparing the food for this great feast. Thank you for slaughtering the germs which invade your kitchen and our lives (this IS so representative of your excellence). Your hands have made us round in the waistline and your hearts have made us plump in the spirit. We lift you high and we honour you. Thank you for caring for us. May the Lord shine shine shine His face upon you.
