In 24 years on this earth, I have never been on top of a roof, until today! Today I conquered a fear that has been evident in my life for many years, and as I reflect on the day I feel some how closer to God. Of course I sat in a place higher than I usually do, but I feel closer to God because I overcame the fear. As I climbed down the ladder in my mind I recited the scripture, "God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of strong mind." (II Timothy 1:7) Preparing for the trip I was extremely excited about the idea of taking part in serving others. Service is the very backbone of humanity because in its own right it's a form of serving and worshipping God. But I thought very little about anything but those that we would be helping this week, little did I know the inspiration and growth that would take place in my own spirit and life.
This makes me aware of all of the blessing that are constantly flowing around us. The blessing of sound mind, functionality of limbs, safe travel, inspiration, new homes, happy families - of course I can go on and on - but the most important of all is the blessing of LOVE. The love that makes a group from Cincinnati make a stranger from Detroit feel like a true part of the group, the love that makes us go out each day despite the aches and pain to serve our fellow man, the blessing of seeing the smile on the face of a soon-to-be homeowner, or to put it plain - the love of Christ.
"...and now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these three is love." (I Corinthinas 13:13)
Blessings to all,
