Happy Monday!
I have been to two
funerals in two days. The first was in
western Oklahoma and the one today was in Sherman. I think (as Bruce says) I have made it to
tired.
On a happier
note…Bruce, Geni and Travis all had a part in creating my study from Geni’s old
bedroom. Tonight the new rug was laid
and the desk put in place. I have some
decorating to do and a few more things to move in and I love it. My family is
amazing. So thank you, Bruce, Geni and
Travis for all of your work and support.
I love you all dearly.
Prayer: “Lord, today use my spiritual gifts as I
serve You as a member of Your body. In
Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
“Now you are the body of Christ, and
members individually.”
1 Corinthians 12:27
The church is the
body of Christ. Jesus lives in each of us.
God calls us through Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to use the
gifts which were given to each of us for the glory of God and in service. I look at all of the people I have met at
Brite and I see so many gifts that are to be used in service to the
church. I see gifts of music, prayer,
knowledge, teaching, leadership, preaching and pastoral care. I am sure there are many that I have not
named, but all of these gifts are to be used as the body of Christ. Each of
these folks and all of us are gifted members of Christ’s body. God includes each of us in the body of Christ
and with the gifts given to us by our Creator we serve and glorify God. I give thanks that God includes me in the
body of Christ and I am blessed to know so many others who are members of the
same body.
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes and get
some sleep. (After travelling so much over the last two days, I am ready for a
restful sleep.) Count your blessings and say your prayers. Please pray for those who have experienced
loss in the passing of loved ones. Love you all, Bruce,
Gaylene, Geni and Travis.
I am not moved by what
I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I
believe God.
