the overflow

 


The overflow of the Easter season is huge, and I am not sure how to share it all with you.  So, let me begin with some verses that have made their way through my mind and heart once again.  They caught my attention in kind of an unexpected way.


Psalm 46:1-2,10  NLT  

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. 2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea…  10 “Be still, and know that I am God!  I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”


Verses that I have read many times before, but this time they carried some weight and meaning that took me a little by surprise.  It is not because of something huge that is happening.  It is because God has a plan and is sharing His plan.  More about the the overflow from Easter.


He is my refuge.  He gives me reason not to fear.  I know Him and the more still I become and the most I lean on Him, the more reason and strong He becomes.  


On to the overflow.


The past two Sundays have been amazing.  Last week our church met at the location where we will be in the future, at some point.  It was one of those over the top and awesome services with lots of people excited.  It was Palm Sunday.  Today was our remembrance of the resurrection and more.  Again it was awesome.


The overflow has more to do with the people that are growing in faith.  You see, I get even more excited to see people grow in the Lord and get closer to Him.  Several people on my mind are closer to God than ever before, and it is an honor to watch them grow and to hear them talk about Jesus.


May we love to be part of the plan and what God is doing.  Keep asking and seeking God.  Keep being part of what He is doing.


Matthew 6:22  NLT  

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

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 ...
