Prepared
I was waiting for the service to begin. The youth had practiced a little, but they worked hard to be prepared. Today we would be blessed with their play.
I looked over and saw the sign on a church pew, and it struck a chord.
Reserved
I realized the sign was prepared so the youth could sit up front and easily get to their places. But, I couldn’t shake the thought of reservations.
I thought about all the empty pews in the world. They may not have reserved signs, but they were ready to receive.
No Room
The play was about having no room at a modern hotel for a Savior. It reminded us that there was no room for Jesus at the inn.
A Grace Place
But, bless God, he made room for every one of us. He has a place reserved for us in heaven, and until then may we tell others who don’t know about His saving grace that they have reservations.
Let us continue to invite our friends and family to church. Let us bring in those we can and tell them, with great love, “Jesus has reserved a place for you, and until his return we have too.

Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others.
I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile.
Blessings to you and yours,
<3Melinda
