Scripture:
Hebrews 11:1 (GNT) – “To have faith is to be sure of the things we
hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.”
Message:
When I went to Mountain T.O.P. in 1996 to help repair a home, I
didn't expect to be blessed. God, however, had other plans for me. The home owner, Margaret, had two sons, ages 37 and 20, with severe
physical and mental disabilities. They were confined to bed and she
fed them baby food. Margaret was a kind and loving person.
On my
last day, I said to her, “When your boys die, God will welcome them
into heaven.” Margaret replied “They are already with God. He has
held them in His hands since birth.” Her words blessed me, and I
will never forget.
Prayer:
Dear God, help us to minister to others and be open to receive
whatever blessing they may impart to us. Amen.
