Being a Good Sam at the train station in Lund
So, I (Barb) tend to love it when there is a very practical way to live out my faith on the streets of the world that God has placed me in for the moment. And I love it even more when there is a fellow disciple/Jesus follower (or in this case, there were 2 others with me) along for the ride! We had just left the ecumenical service at St. Johanneskyrka in Malmö, where the preacher lifted up the story of the Good Samaritan and challenged us to see ourselves in the story ~ and the concept of sometimes we have to be on the side of the road in order to evaluate and study our motivations. We were, indeed, the world that gathered at St. John's Lutheran Church in Malmö, celebrating the diversity of our great city and the diversity of how we celebrate worship, preach, teach, take care of our kids, and celebrate communion together ~ After a quick lunch in Malmö, the three of us (dare I call us the “Three Muskateers??!!”) hopped on the train to Lund.
