Hardwood Floors
During a recent prayer meeting, I found myself focusing on the hardwood floor. Yes, I had my eyes open. By this point in our meeting, I was pretty well prayed out. So I was simply staring at the floor ... or so I thought.
Suddenly I was struck by the realization that hardwood floors are "intensional." The boards of the floor are held "in tension." The floor I was looking at was probably almost 100 years old. Each board was unique and scarred. Each board seemed to be a slightly different length. Independent of each other, no board is a floor. On their own, no board could support my weight. But together, the boards form a beautiful floor.
What binds these boards into a floor, is the fact that they are aligned. They all share a common purpose of being a floor.
