Unexpected Graces

God just pours his grace out on all of us here at SPIRITUS each and every day. My teammates have already shared many stories of how they've experienced this. But God also likes to give us little moments of grace in the times and places where we least expect it. A couple days ago, as we neared the end of our annual "secret" vacation, a group of young guys walked past the table where I was sitting. The last guy in the group walked up to me and asked, "This might sound kind of strange, but do you do church camps or something?"

It turned out that he was on one of our retreats last year! He said we did a great job and to keep it up. He also said that what we do has an impact, and it sticks with people. I don't think he has any idea what an awesome grace this brief conversation was for me. One of the toughest things about our retreat ministry is that we rarely get to see the fruits of our work, so receiving this kind of affirmation (especially in such an unexpected place and time) was the perfect way for me to cap off a great vacation.
