Many times we miss some special people around us. In this last devotion of the week, I ask you to join me in honoring some older folks who mean so much to us. Who are they? They are a varied group of people who love the Lord, love their church and serve others with all their hearts.
I wish to honor them today and more often:
Many from The Orchard who give their all.
People who have left us to be in heaven like my grand parents, Mabry Housely, Betty Stone and Jerry Masterson.
Friends from the past as in Myrtice Horton, Laddie Ondracheck and so many more.
I have to include my parents and my wife's parents.
The forgotten heros who don't always get a pat on the back or are remembered at special times are our Senior Saints who have "been there and done that" and have come through with flying colors. They have fought the battles and learned the lessons. They have much to teach us! We have much to listen to and learn from.
"and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much
more presentable," 1 Corinthians 12:23 (NASB)
Often they feel that way.
"So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith." Galatians 6:10 (NASB)
"Render to all what is due them... honor to whom honor." Romans 13:7 (NASB)
