Comments on: Feb. 24: Seek his face http://www.goshen.edu/devotions/feb-24-seek-his-face/ Advent and Lenten devotions by Goshen College students, faculty and staff Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:56:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Sylvia http://www.goshen.edu/devotions/feb-24-seek-his-face/#comment-707 Sylvia Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:28:19 +0000 http://blog.goshen.edu/devotions/?p=513#comment-707 I thought you might enjoy a portion of my journal for 2/27/10. It ties in with your devotional. Saw the twins today when we went to visit our older son and his family. I wish everyone could feel what our 9 month old grand-twins welcome is. They are sitting there in their “chairs” as we walk in the door, just smiling at me, at us. No whimpers or cries, just bright eyes and broad smiles. Looking at me, their concentration or eye contact does not waver; it feels like they are looking at God. I feel adored, so worthy of their gaze, so, so special. Reading my Lenten devotions from Goshen College directs my attention to Psalm 27. “Come, my heart says, seek His face! Your face, Lord do I seek.” Evan and Caleb, you have shown me a glimpse of how God might feel when we seek His face. I thought you might enjoy a portion of my journal for 2/27/10.

“Come, my heart says, seek His face!

Your face, Lord do I seek.”

At a time when many young adults are questioning the church and even leaving, it is most refreshing to hear faith stories from college students and staff. Yes, I am a senior.

Sung by my daughter's choir, it rocked my world and put me onto the Spirit in my life. Coincidentally, as a little girl, bored at Mass, I had memorized part of this psalm. It's a touchstone piece.
