(guest blogger, Vicky English) My thoughts for today

As I sit and think about the time we spent at Metro Ministries yesterday one question keeps coming to my mind.

WHAT DOES GOD LOOK LIKE?

I really have no way of knowing. Does He look like the gentleman, Arthur, that I spent time talking with yesterday? Or Troy? Or any of the 38 homeless we interacted with?

My thougt is that since we all are God's children shouldn't we treat others as we would if we could physically see Jesus standing with us.

Not one of God's children is any less important than the other. Shouldn't those of us who, through His grace, have a warm place to lay our heads every night do all that we can to help our brothers and sisters who don't?

This is a passion for me. My heart overflows for men, women and children who have to live this way.

If nothing else please help me in showing all people what the love of Jesus is all about.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
