Working with the team

Saturday was a wonderful day.  Some rain and sun but a lot of hard work and wonderful company.  The mission team did some yard work for a hospice home.  Took out several root balls, put in some flower beds and general cleaning up.  It was a great time working with the rest of the team and getting to know each other.  Learned one member went to school and new  a friend of mine.  Boy, we live in a very small world.  May God bless the inhabitants of the home and watch over them.

God's Plan for Us

As the team embarks on the road that is this years mission, we are not just planning or learning of the specifics.  God is working in each of our lives, to pull back the layers we have built up over the years so that we can be effective.  Today was our second meeting and we learned more about what we will be doing.  The local community project we will be working with and learning how we need to be praying and thinking of the trip itself.  During these times, we are learning from each other and building relationships that will impact us in ways we can not dream of.  God in His infinite wisdom has put together this team so that we can show His love to others.  It is about His plan not ours...........why do I forget this?

The Cross

Wow, Easter is upon us and The Cross should be staring directly at you.  Why would a man want to be crucified for someone he never knew on earth?   What would any of us do for a neighbor or family member?  I am thankful Christ did what His Father asked of Him over 2000 years ago.  This way, as we know Him we will have everlasting life.We find is so difficult to to share our faith with others when Christ died a horrible death not knowing us.  We should all be challenged on this day to go forth and spread the Good New, that Christ has risen and He is forever waiting for us.  Our life on this earth is so short let's not waste it doing whatever but showing Christ's love to our neighbor every day, no matter if they are a few away or thousands of miles away.........
