“Most incredible, however, are the times we know Christ is with us in the midst of our daily, routine lives. In the middle of cleaning the house or driving somewhere in the pick-up, He stops us. . . in our tracks and makes His presence known.

We realize, then, that there can be no "ordinary" moments for people who live their lives with Jesus.” PeopleKnowsMomentsHouseJesusChristRealizingKnownChristianityMiddleOrdinaryPicksJesus ChristTasksIncrediblesTrackDrivingMidstRoutineCleaningMundaneDaily RoutinesClean HouseOrdinary MomentsRoutine Life Author:Michael Card
