Weird title for this post right? We moved almost a year ago & I have been searching for a church pew to fit in a specific space in our home. My husband found the perfect piece yesterday!! It is over 100 years old & was brought here from a tiny church in England. The color of wood matches our home perfectly, the detailing on the arms is amazing, but the wear on the seat is what caught my eye. As I’m admiring the pew I was filled with emotion, how many prayers have been lifted to God while sitting here? How many were answered? How were they answered? What/who caused the big scratch in the seat? Could it have been someone that sat here each Sunday? Or was it someone taking shelter in the house of God? So many questions go along with this piece. As I’m sitting here I feel peace knowing that this simple piece of wood held so many of Gods people.
