I have never done this before.

I have a thought but it isn't complete. I'll write the first part. If you have some thoughts from your past experiences, church or S.S. teachings -- maybe you can finish it.

For a number of years, I have had only one pair of glasses. Since my high school days when I was diagnosed as nearsighted, I have worn glasses part of the time. I have never been restricted to driving with glasses, but I wear them most of the time when I drive. And other times I want to see better, long distances.

As I get older, I need to wear them more to see better at a few other things, too. I still don't like them on when I use the computer. Glasses get in my way when I am in the kitchen or doing a lot of other household tasks.

Consequently Jim has had to put up with my searches just before we do something new or go some place.

"What are you looking for?" he might ask.

Almost always, my reply is the same, "I can't find my glasses."  Or "Have you seen my glasses?"  And the search begins.

Last summer I got another pair of glasses to upgrade my prescription. Now I have two pairs of glasses. New pair. Old pair. And they are always around some place.

Never have to look for my glasses now. There is always a pair....on the computer desk, on the kitchen table, next to the chair I watch television from most of the time. In fact, much of the time the two pairs are together. If I toss in my sunglasses which I have pulled off and tossed some place, we have quite a gathering in one spot frequently.

Now is your turn to finish the rest of the story.

Is it something about "where two or more are gathered in My Name", Jesus said, "there I will be in their midst?"

Or is it something like "the little boy with the loaves and the fishes" and what you have in the Christian world tends to mulitiply? And one plus one doesn't turn out to be two, but a whole bunch?
