The Visitor
A friend asked a newly retired man what he was doing now that he was no longer working full-time. I describe myself as a visitor, the man replied. I go see people in our church and community who are in the hospital or care facilities, living alone, or just need someone to talk and pray with them. And I enjoy doing it! My friend was impressed by this mans clear sense of purpose and his care for others.
A few days before Jesus was crucified, He told His followers a story that emphasized the importance of visiting people in need. The King will say to those on His right hand, . . . I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me (Matt. 25:34,36). When asked, When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? the King will answer, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me (vv.39-40).
Our ministry of visiting has two beneficiariesthe person visited and Jesus Himself. To go to a person with help and encouragement is direct service to our Lord.
Is there someone who would be encouraged by your visit today?
Lord Jesus, help me to see others with Your
eyes. Show me what it means to demonstrate
Your love to those around me. Thank You for
the love You give to me that I can share.
Compassion is understanding the troubles of others, coupled with an urgent desire to help.
: In todays passage, Jesus tells His followers that love for our neighbor is an expression of our love for God. Only a few chapters before this (Matt. 22), He tells them that the greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbor.

My son-in-law is stationed at Pendleton but has spent more than half of the last few months out at 29 Palms “out in the field”.

I did not like the stumps when I was there in 1984. Or 1986. Or 1987.
I never want to visit a desert again.
SEMPER FI!

My very first duty station out of boot camp. Took the Blue Streak, an old decrepit 1950’s bus, from Palm Springs Airport to the base in May 1973. Quite the climate change from someone used to Alaska summers! I was there until December, having completed basic electronics and telephone switchboard repair. January 1974 saw me going to an Army base at Fort Monmouth for my final school.
