Where are you in the story?
by Daily Grace

12.30.2017

Uncategorized

“Where do you find yourself in the story?” the pastor wondered, asking us to share our answers with a neighbor. I turned to a veteran he was just a shadow of that former self, and a disheveled one at that. Dementia betrayed both his brain and his body. “Well, of course,” he said. “I’m me!” Thanks be to God.

This message is an excerpt from “As God sees us” by Audrey West, in the July/August 2017 issue of Gather magazine.
