"Oh, if we could get another microwave!" I had overheard from a Ukrainian family. On the following Sunday, I had to preach a sermon about " Doubting Thomas". What fascinated me about him was that he wanted to touch the wounds of Jesus. And what is the message of the wound? I had asked. If wounds are shown to each other and entrusted to each other, a greater closeness often grows out of it, in which the living God shows himself as love. And now I'm getting concrete," I told the participants in the service with a smile on my face: "I still need a microwave oven for a Ukrainian family who live in our town as refugees and have three children to feed. After the service, a middle-aged couple came up to me. I did not know them. "We are not regular churchgoers. But we were so touched by your thoughts that we decided to give you an almost new microwave oven for the refugee family! We could still use it, but the family needs it more urgently!"
