Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit
My friend, Pastor Ray Christenson in Las Vegas, once told about a pastor who would regularly visit a farm family outside of town. He would visit them particularly because the farmer's wife was blind. Each time the pastor would visit, things would go along like any of the other visits he would make. He enjoyed talking with Farmer and Mrs. Syverson. They would tell the pastor of how their families came from Norway and how they settled in Minnesota. They would share their remembrances of family traditions and customs. It was always an enjoyable time together.
