I Saw Jesus at a Wedding Saturday

So I have this long time friend named Leia. She fits in well with me maintaining the status quo characteristics of weirdness, quirk, and yes the ability to muse on obscurities otherwise unnoticed by the lemming populous. Leia and I served together in Coppell at a church helping youth. It was an awesome time to be in ministry and we had some great experiences. Saturday Leia got hitched. It was a great day. She asked me to play my large fiddle (guitar) at the wedding and "just make something up." That sounded fun and I certainly was up for giving something back to her on this special day. Little did I know that Jesus would show up though.

There I was and there they were, all of them and I knew I was in the midst of something holy. Friends upon friends came, most of them I didn't know. They were all different: some Christians, some bloggers, some associates, some old friends, some new and all completely different. It was glorious cross-section of humanity and we all had something in common- our friend. Who our friends are says quite a bit about who we are as humans. I pontificated on the event as it unfolded and found my heart strangely moved. I realized the miracle of a person who can have so many different friends- that relates to them all in some form or fashion. She is living out her faith by the friendships she keeps- by working and caring for so many. I was suddenly in the midst of revelation- both personal and cooperate. I saw Jesus at a wedding on Saturday- as always He surprised me and called me to something more. I, who am so poor in friendships of folks who know me, need to step up and courageously love more. My life would be fuller and my days would be so much richer. Thank you Leia- for letting God use you. I know great things are on her horizon and now I must be about realizing this revelation.
