The letter
" My girl Christine,
This letter risks to surprise you, because you know my love as well for the reading as for the writing. However I need to confide today. And if we did not still know how to listen to you, you always tried to understand me.
You saw me changing lately and, intrigued, you asked me :
" Who is this minister? " Michel Genton , I answered you. And every time I see you or every time I get on the phone you, I speak to you about my minister. He represents for me a lot, I believe that you understood it. What he thus has furthermore that the others (abbots, parish priest ,clergyman)? It is a real disciple of Jesus, a man of faith, a sincere man, the man who wishes only a thing: Share the love which he has for God. He is my shepherd. That God blesses him! How To explain you what I feel? It is not easy. At least, it is very strong and I wish to each persons of the world to live it. How did it arrive? A seed...
The first time when I heard Michel to speak, it was during a meeting organized by the company for which I work. I did not absolutely know him, I had never seen him. But, I remember , its testimony had touched me, not by its contents , but because The way he expresses himself was out of the ordinary. He too moreover, by the way he gets dressed.....without more...
Two months later, a meeting similar to the castle! There, oh surprised, we ask him a question on money. He answers it by opening his Bible. My first reaction: ' Great! ' The second: ' what a nerve! ' (I knew it minister, but that it surprise!). The third: ' finally, a man of faith! ' He had just imposed on me its conviction, its passion, without more... He had sowed, without more!
Then days, weeks, months pass. I see him regularly during business meetings on Paris. Regularly he invites me to him (in them) to visit, because he already knows that his messages do not leave me indifferent. I have just written 'them' because i want to explain you my wish to go into their Community today, Because if Michel was the etre by whom I opened eyes,It is in fact the whole Community that led me to the Lord. How? By living completely, in harmony.
In fact, when I saw Michel, my first impression was: ' a visionary or an excellent salesman maybe, fascinated certainly '. However he inhales the happiness. But, when you make spot, to the Community, and when you see thirty who speak to you about the Lord with the same spark in eyes, same sincerity, you ask then questions. When you see children flying into the arms and welcoming you as I was him, you understand while, if a commercial can deceive you, the glance of a child, him, deceives nobody. Over the moment, I did not want to believe in it, I then looked. Certainly, I did not ask questions because the others were there to do it. I thus stayed wisely in my place, while to lend an ear. In fact, I looked for the fault, for the sentence of the one which would contradict the other one.
Now, at the risk of surprising you, I waited in vain. On the other hand, what a lesson of humility as for me! ' You Love one another ' Jesus says to us. Well, when you ressors of this Community, you do not say: ' what a beautiful castle! ', but: ' what a magnificent school of Love! ". This day, I understood that meant ' believing 'and' loving '. I was converted, I believe in God, He loves me, I can do nothing more without him.
Here we are, you know all that I am capable of explaining today. But it is only the beginning of a magnificent adventure. Finally, my invitation to come to the castle always likes. Mom was surprised learning that you would come maybe with Thierry, Delphine and Christophe. She asked me the following question: ' do you Intend to contaminate them? '. Well yes, because I believe that you deserve more!In fact, we deserve all more that little educational biblical which I received myself. We cannot believe without knowing. I found a professor and it is the first time when I go to the school with the smile and when I ask for more of it.
Here is of what to ask questions, no?
Here we are, big sister, what I have on the heart
.Sandrine.
P.S. : Mom knows that I plan to settle down definitively in the castle. Dad knows nothing about it. You know him, everything to him turns in mockery. He will understand when I shall have showed my ability ".
