I’d like to share a meditation that my pastor facilitated this past Sunday with you all:

Imagine a neighborhood that you frequently go to. As you walk through it, notice that it’s early spring, and the sun is shining with a light breeze in the air. Breathe in deeply, and the air smells fresh and clean.

Imagine that you find a bench and sit down upon it. It has just the right amount of shade and a few warm rays of the sun stream in through the leaves. Sit there for a while.

And as you’re sitting there, you turn to your left and you find Jesus sitting there.

What happens next? What does he do? What do you do?

Spend some time simply being there with Jesus and watch what unfolds.
