celebrate someone today


It is the week before back2school.  That means next week is going to be extra exciting and busy.  I am excited, nervous and expecting God to do incredible things similar to past years and even more.  Please pray to that outcome.


There are things to celebrate.  I want to be an example of how to celebrate and even more of what to celebrate.  God has provided the purpose, the passion and resources needed to impact so many lives.  He has given us partnerships that are worth far more than money.


Help me celebrate.  Celebrate what God celebrates. Celebrate people.  


God has given us some incredible people that are making it happen.  Some are pastors.  Others are church leaders.  Some are from our community and others are from hundreds of miles away.  It takes a lot of people to pull off back2school.


Join me in celebrating people.  Say thank you to someone who has done something for you.  Write a card to someone that means a lot to you.  Go out of your way to encourage that person or another person who has been struggling.  Celebrate the people God has put in your life and who are being used by Him.


Choose 5 people to celebrate today.  


As we celebrate people we prove who we are, His disciples.  We show what real love is.


John 13:35  NLT

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.


Take the extra effort to do something that others won’t.  Who are the people you arguing to celebrate?


1 John 3:1  NLT

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.

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....
