In the depth of winter I finally learned
that there was in me an invincible summer.

Jesus Is Right Behind You


January 12, 2019

Today's Scripture & Insight:
Matthew 25:37-40

My daughter was ready for school a little earlier than usual, so she asked if we could stop by the coffee shop on our way. I agreed. As we approached the drive-thru lane, I said, “Do you feel like spreading some joy this morning?” She said, “Sure.”

We placed our order, then pulled up to the window where the barista told us what we owed. I said, “We’d like to pay for the young woman’s order behind us too.” My daughter had a huge smile on her face.

In the grand scheme of things, a cup of coffee may not seem like a big deal. Or is it? I wonder, could this be one way we carry out Jesus’s desire for us to care for those He called “the least of these”? (Matthew 25:40). Here’s a thought: How about simply considering the person behind us or next in line a worthy candidate? And then do “whatever”—maybe it’s a cup of coffee, maybe it’s something more, maybe something less. But when Jesus said “whatever you did” (v. 40) that gives us a great deal of freedom in serving Him while serving others.

As we drove away we caught the faces of the young woman behind us and the barista as she handed over the coffee. They were both grinning from ear to ear. Today's Reflection

Lord, help me not to overthink serving others. Sometimes the small, simple things
mean more than I’ll ever know. And help me to remember that whatever
I do for others, I’m doing for You.

I grew up with his Jeri Neilson gal, well not so much her as her brothers.

She was at the pole and self diagnosed breast cancer.
The weather was bad.

Her brothers, Eric and Scott went down there on a C130 and hella landing, got her out of there.

She lived like 9.5 more years.

Dang its Cold outside... :)

Just looking for allegra on this forum, I bet she knows Eric. Goober, Randy and Eric and I were great pals in the day.
