If you plant hope today in any hopeless heart, if someone's burden becomes lighter because you do your part, if you cause a laugh that chases a tear away, if tonight your name is mentioned when someone kneels to pray, then your day will be well spent. – Anon
The greatest thing Andrew did was go find his brother Peter and tell him about the Messiah. Hmm!
Most people would jump at the chance to do something for notoriety, fame, or fortune. Just look at the continuing onslaught of ‘reality based TV’ shows and the number of contestants just waiting to make it big, do the improbable or the impossible. But God’s improbable or impossible is just for us to be human and humane to one another. God never expects us to do the impossible, but to do just what is ‘natural’ in the course of being a compassionate individual; to help someone a little further on their way, for in doing so it helps us on our way. That’s loving our neighbor as ourselves.
Until tomorrow…..
Pastor Botts
….This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment greater than these.’” – Mark 12:31
