This was a quick post. The picture explains that this was the tail-end of Recital Week. We were loading the trailers, and since it’s the loading area to a theatre, there are scratches in the concrete from all of the equipment, etc., that’s always being moved in and out of the building. I was returning into the building after loading one of the cars to see what else needed to be packed. I stopped for just a second and noticed that one of the MANY scratches in the concrete was a cross. What are the odds that it would be noticeable? It wasn’t big (although I did zoom in for the picture). I texted it to a friend (very faith-filled person—get you one if you don’t have one already)…one of those “Look how cool!” texts…and she commented how she figured I noticed because I was “seeking Him with all [my] heart.” Yes, I have the text message saved because it meant a lot. Anyway, here is the passage from June 11, 2023. Notice what I did with the 1’s to find a verse to go with the number. I did a lot of that in the two-month journey. I’ll let God do the talking from here via these words from St. Paul.

“13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,

from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

19  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

—Ephesians 3:13-19”
