Sally was outside today when I was walking Annie, so I stopped to talk with her. Her husband Paul's funeral had been the morning we got fourteen inches of snow. Her granddaughter has been staying with her since the funeral and Sally said, "I just need to tell you a story about my granddaughter."
We had given her granddaughter our fourteen family passes to the Y so she could swim while she was here. After she finished swimming one evening this week, she went into the sauna. It was empty. She decided it was a great time to play praise music so she did. Another man came in, so she turned the music down and continued to praise God. When she looked over at him, he was worshipping, too.
Then some women in Muslim dress came in. She didn't stop the music, but continued to praise and worship God. When she looked up, everyone in the sauna had their hands lifted.
She had to ask. "You're dressed in Muslim clothing, yet you're worshipping with my praise music." They responded: "We dress this way for our Muslim husbands. We are Christians, too."
"Let no one despise your youth,
but set the believers an example
in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."
1 Timothy 4:12
