One sentence said without a moment of thought, “the Holy Spirit usually sends us the right people”, brought an American family to Poland for good. That story opens a reflection on Acts 9, where Peter heals Aeneas and raises Tabitha, a woman known in her community simply for sewing clothes for widows. The sermon shows that the Holy Spirit specialises in turning ordinary people into workers of the kingdom, and that his fingerprints become visible only when we look back. Listen if you have ever wondered whether your everyday, unremarkable service counts for anything at all.
