Last night at church we heard the importance of the body of Christ. To think that we do not matter in church is a lie. The scriptures give the example of the importance of our physical body working together and each member of our body is important and has a function. The eye has a function and the ear has a function. Each is vitally important to our body.
Believe me, I know the importance of each member. It is a lot more difficult when one member is missing. Oh life is possible without my leg but it is not as easy as when I had both legs. Patrick and I have had to make major adjustments, but life goes on in spite of it.
So does the church...if we refuse to be obedient to God's call—be it children's ministry, pastoring, being the greeter—then God will use someone else, but we lose the blessing. The church needs all of us. ALL of us, not just a few. I would encourage you not to wait until you are asked to help, but offer your service in whatever capacity is possible.
I am sorry I have not been able to blog every day. It is still in internet connection we don't have.
Pray for our papers to be accepted for the house we found in the Miami area. We are looking forward to get settled.
God bless you
