For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalm 84:10
I got to be a "greeter" at my church on Easter. I think that's the absolute greatest job ever. I mean, think about it - I am told it is my duty to smile and wave, to hug folks, to meet new ones and help them find their place, to chat it up with friends. For real!! I was only "assigned" to one session but I had so much fun I just kept doing it through the next two services. It was fabulous. Even got a new Tshirt for the job. Maybe somebody thinks this is a "little" thing, but, not me. I think it's the 2nd most important job at church. Just after nursery workers. Loving on folks, making them feel welcome, being glad that they came. It's the best.
As I was grinning my way through the day, I thought about this verse and wondered if maybe, just maybe, I'll get this assignment in glory. I would really really really love to stand at that gate made of one gigantic pearl and hug everybody as they come in. Don't you think that would be fun?
