Sweet and bitter
Lord’s Supper , bread broken in half, two special glasses of grapevine juice, whoever wants and wants, go to the table and tear it off a piece of bread and drinks juice, the worship team sings songs that raise hearts to heaven, and so everyone, whether Pole, English, Bulgarian, or Ukrainian, unites in spirit with the Lord of the Universe in love and joy flowing from the loving heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is how I experienced the “Open well” community services in Liverpool for two weeks in a row with my daughters.
The fact that God has taken such care of us amazes and amazes us. My wife went to the UK in January and when I brought my children there, it turned out that everything was prepared. House, as it is in the UK, terraced house, with a living room, dining room and kitchen, upstairs three bedrooms and a bathroom, all in total about 90 m2. Perfect for our family. As I was sitting there in the lounge chair and suddenly God’s voice came to me, this is your place! I immediately understood that where my wife and children are where I belong. My house. My place on earth.
My first time on a plane my kids also ,, an amazing two hours and fifteen hundred kilometers flown. The world is so tiny from the windows of the plane, the lights of houses, streets, cities like a fairy tale, and downstairs in every house people with their problems and joys. I don’t know if that’s how God looks, but I wanted to look into these houses and say don’t be afraid, there’s a God who loves. A God who cares. My wife mentioned the need in the community, when we arrived nothing was missing. Fridge, washing machine, furniture, bed sheets, kitchen equipment, all this in a week was in the house, which is now our home. There is nothing missing, and the pastor’s mother asks if maybe something else? https://www.facebook.com/openwellchurch/#
This is Philadelphia or brotherly love when the church shows love in a real and physical way. My wife was not a person that this Community would know, except for one person she is Emek, my spiritual son whom I “bore” in prison. Eight years ago, when I was a strong evangelist in prisons, it was Emek who followed the Lord with all his might in his time. Today he is an exemplary father, husband and child of God. His testimony can be found here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQg5NrMruRY .
Liverpool didn’t on me some bigger impression, green buses, left-hand traffic, you cross the street as you want, there is no so-called ribs. There are lights at major intersections, but you don’t have to turn on, you go on the red one and the police don’t do anything about it, at your own risk. I liked this freedom, probably with us already someone’s account would be enriched with our mandate. You can’t see the police, sometimes you can only hear their squeaky signal. The streets are not very clean, something I and my wife do not like. Nice center, historic buildings, lots of people, you can also hear Polish, it’s a pity that the most common curses. Most often we walked everywhere, healthy and cheap. I had to make my body struggle, even though it resisted.
When I was on my way back alone , I watched from the plane’s windows as our city disappeared in the distance. I came back to Poland to continue my life, deal with various matters, close everything I can, and be somewhere in the course of the year where the person closest to my heart is. Now it’s time to build a relationship with your son and his family. Time of getting to know each other in adult life. Heavy on heart, but modern technology offers many possibilities and we have contact with each other, with my wife and daughters, every day. God gives the grace that we can change in a good way. It seems that the dark valley time is running out and the rays of God’s light are already visible. Coming out of the darkness of the experience, however, is amazing. I believe that we will be stronger and wiser after the experiences we have had. When I was with my wife, I read carefully the book of Harold S. Kushner “ When bad things happen to good people”, not that I consider myself to be some super good one, but reading this greatly lifted my spirits and reassured me that God is with me. He is also with everyone who goes through experiences, He does not enjoy our misfortunes, but supports us in going through them.
Yours in Mr. Kazik J.
