Serving the old and young

I've heard it said many times that you can recognize how great a nation is by watching how the old and young are treated. The same is true of the church. 

It is the way we honor and serve the elderly in our church that shows respect and that we hear God's voice in caring for this special group of people. 

True the opposite direction and see that the church must have a plan and ministry to the littlest ones as well as to fight for the survival of the unborn. 

Both are vital to life. Both are important to God. May we be the hands, feet, light and voice of God for these very special people. 

Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ NLT
But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." 

A couple weeks ago I was blessed to visit the LA Dream Center again. This week in in New York City serving with Metro World Child. Both are incredible works sharing hope where there is little to no encouragement. 

I'm praying for ...
Ken Woodward, Shawn Rice, Jeff, Barbara Nichles, Jen Pritt and Angel, Keith Fulcher, Ron Donley, angel and Steven Hunt, my precious wife and the test she's taking tomorrow for teacher certification.

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....

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 ...
