Hotdog lunch in Ephesians

What good could come from a visit to the local hotdog restaurant on $1 hotdog days? As far as the family nutritionist is concerned, nothing! As far as Ephesians 4:1-3 is concerned, everything. On Tuesday a church friend and I met at the local hotdog place to indulge our craving for those little red dogs served hot and cheep. The event sounds mundane enough but it was special beyond words. Although I had known this young man for several years; I did not really know him. We associated at church but not beyond the few hours a week spent inside the four walls of the building. It was great to hear all about his young life and how he met his wife. I found out about his job, his interests, his family, and how he and his wife came to be such devoted servants of Christ at our church. All these wonderful things came about at a local hotdog eatery! As our conversation continued we found ourselves discussing concerns, desires, and vision for our ministries and our church. As you would expect, God’s economy is vastly more efficient than man’s. In all of man’s designed meetings and events, he wastes time planning and “making things happen.” God took an impromptu lunch meeting and turned it into a celebration of Christ in our lives and our desire to serve Him better, all while enjoying hotdogs and fries (did I mention the fries….?).
Check this out: “As a prisoner for the Lord, the, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentile; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3 NIV
All that and a hotdog! Give me a shout and maybe we can get a salad together (just incase the family nutritionist is reading this blog).
