Used by God

Dear Friends:
On April 20, Normandale Hylands United Methodist Church consecrated its new building addition. We’ve had quite a year what with a building project going on around us. I compare it to living with an elephant, lots of noise, and lots of tracks. Now, however, the end is near and a new era begins. To God be the glory.
On the 20th, I talked with the children about one of my favorite songs, Sanctuary, by John Thompson and Randy Scruggs.
Lord, prepare me, to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true;
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary to you.
To be a sanctuary is to be a holy place, a place where God is honored, and where the presence of God is felt. What would a person who is seeking to be a “sanctuary” look like? I have a few ideas. What are yours? Let me know. In the meantime, I will pray that the “sanctuary” blueprint for you becomes a reality, and I would ask you to do the same for me. Blessings to you on your “building project”.
Pastor Don
