My Community: The Laundry Mat

I love my laundry mat. I look forward to going when I can. The gentlemen who owns the place is Indian (not native btw). He remembers me and always says "Long time no see, its been too long." I will normally shake my head in agreement and tell where I have been. Thats community. Coming, being greeted, catching up on each other's lives. His mother once minstered to me. I don't know if they believe in "my God" but she spoke to me about God and how He takes care of us. The gospel was all through out what she said. She doesn't know it but I went to my car and cried because God used her voice to comfort me. The best part about my Laundry Mat Commuinty is there is no rules to enter into it. Although I have to say there is one, SHARE!!! Sometimes you get news in and they like to lay claim on things and not share, I sometimes get mad, but other times I just the LMC teach them on their own. God is so present with me when I go to the LMC. I wish "church" were more like that. I guess beggers can't be choosers, but at least I get some of what I'm looking for while doing my dirty laundry. Do you see it the gospel is so present there, in unique ways. I hope all people have some where this can be true to them.
