The Enyarts The World According To Me

the back row

As usual, we spent Sunday morning at La Jolla Shores having breakfast with our friends. We were blessed this morning to catch up with some we hadn't seen in about a month. They were excited to see us and have their friends there with them.
This is church for us. Friends, food, fellowship, prayer.
After sharing a meal together and talking about how we are doing and seeing what needs we can pray for and try to meet we all circled on the grass to pray together before leaving. A couple of us prayed, and one friend in particular asked if he could pray at the end. Part of his prayer went something like this,
"God, we don't deserve your love and kindness. But if you can, we'd really love to be in heaven with you someday. Do you think you could just let us come and sit in the back row?"
The back row. I think heaven is going to be full of people like this. Surprised to be there. Expecting to be sitting in the back row, only to discover special VIP seating reserved especially for them, the least of these.
