Meeting Jesus in Finland

Lorna went to the market for strawberries, and met Jesus along the way.

You know, as I read the gospels I'm amazed at how many encounters Jesus had with folks as he was on his way to somewhere else. He stopped. Every single time - he stopped. He meets us on the way, but we're never in the way. He's busy, but never too busy. He interupts his plans for us, but we're never an interruption to him. There's never something - or someone - more important than the person at the side of the road, calling his name.

I want to be more like Jesus.
