The sounds of church...

I sat in my seat on the platform at church during open worship this morning and heard the most wonderful sounds...

• I heard a baby fussing in her mother's arms and smiled. That sound reminded me that the church has a future.
• I heard the distinct flap, flap flap of flipflops exiting the sanctuary. That sound reminded me that teens are hungry for God's word.
• I heard the creaking and cracking of bones (mostly mine). That sound reminded me that there are older folks who will remain faithful for a lifetime.

I hope your church is as noisy.
