who are they?

 


Who are they?  I mean who are the people that make your life and work more meaningful.  I finish out this week with telling you about a few people that make my life better.  


This isn’t about pointing out specific people, but I am pointing out the places and tasks where specific people fill.  Things would not work as good as they do without these people.


The Servant.


Romans 12:7  NLT  

If your gift is serving others, serve them well…


There are so many of these people in my life.  From the ladies that spend time at church several days a week, to the people who fix meals and serve others, to those who donate items and others.  We all can serve others.  And we should.


The Friend.


Proverbs 27:17  NLT  

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.


I have a few of these, but there are a couple that have dug in.  They show up often and make life better and me stronger.  We all need friends and need to be a friend.  Find that person in your life that needs a friend today.


The next two are more specific.


Proverbs 18:22  NLT  

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.


Her name is Julie, and I don’t say this enough.  But I am blessed by this precious lady that serves, shares, teaches kids and loves well.  I am grateful for my wife.  I did receive the favor of God.


My Savior.


Romans 5:11  NLT 

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.


That is the most important of all.  Our Savior.  My savior is Jesus.


Today I pointed out four different things.  But when those people all knows Jesus, they all work together and for the good of others and the glory of God.


Be a servant.  Be a friend.  Cherish your spouse.  Know the Savior.  Have a great weekend.

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....
