Yesterday we had a good turnout for a Multigenerational service --- thanks to Amy Regnier and the kids for a delightful story! Delightful, but maybe uncomfortable, in a good way. As the characters learned, the strategies we use to feel comfortable sometimes separate us from others. We know that there are more important things than these "goat coats," but we resist giving them up. Only when we break through the resistance do we find that their comfort was keeping us from the treasure that could truly fill our hearts.
