FMF: Store
18:52
I work in a store.
In the UK, I’d say I work in a shop.
It is a special store, because it is a charity shop – a second-hand shop – or a thrift-store.
The store belongs to our church and is currently called Second Chance.
It is a great name that speaks for itself – as all of the things donated to us are given a second chance to be owned, reused and loved.
We receive the donations and we lovingly rescue, repair, refresh, restore, revalue and repurpose them; then they are bought – repossessed, rehoused, reused and recycled.
We may be changing the name of the store to ‘Re Store’.
Our church has changed its name too – we have merged two existing church congregations and have come together – renamed as ‘Re Church’.
Like the shop, each of us has been given a second chance – we have been reborn, rescued, redeemed, renewed, repaired, restored, repurposed, resurrected.
The old has become new.
I love these Re words.
I am most grateful and excited that I have been redeemed, rescued and am being constantly renewed, repaired, restored and repurposed.
What about you?
Which Re word is most exciting to you?
