The Handbag Story

I liked Carole's story on Sunday. It was about a woman who had to collect a supply of communion wafers and travel with them to the church where they were to be used. On the journey the bag spilt open into her handbag, and the question was, had the handbag's contents ruined the sanctity of the wafers, or had the spilling of the wafers sanctified the handbag?
It is so easy to feel that we really are not the most reliable interface God could have chosen to have with his world, and that being associated with our lives does diminish his 'sanctity'. But, the spilling of God into our ordinary lives is an amazing thing and believing that because of that touch, he can use us as we are is mindblowing!
