A Beautiful Day

It is hard to complain about the increasing prices of gasoline, food, etc. when you see those on fixed income having to do without needed items. And then I hear about Honduras and some fuel is simply not available. For today I am thankful that I am blessed and have so much. I pray for those who are going without and making decisions as to where their limited funds will go. This week in 40 days of community we are focusing on service projects within our congregation. Each life group is try to determine a way to meet a need of our church family. We will brainstorm this tomorrow to see where BJ's buddies are headed. This morning I spoke with an elderly lady that we are taking food to each week and we have visited. She told me that she needs no other work done, just visits. She told me that she could do without the food but not the visits. In our fast paced lives we seldom have time to sit down and wish for visitors while those around us are hungry for people to talk to. We do not have to come up with some huge ministry project that affects dozens of people, we just need to spend some time with a lonely lady.
