Thanks for the lesson!
If I may, I was just reminded of a drifter in my town that used to stay behind our local blockbuster. I used to walk over there on my break to visit a friend that worked there. And after a bit I got to know him and would bring him sandwiches from my work and sit with him.
And really, God gave me so much joy through being with that man and caring for him. And not only that but, as I was caring for that man and 'taking care of him', God was taking care of my needs. And not to say that I had all the money, and possessions or whatever.... but what I NEEDED.
Spiritually and mentally, I was restored and satisfied. I was strengthened in my heart.
We don't really need to worry about ourselves, because He is looking after us. And I think knowing and realizing that, inturn, totally frees us up to serve others.

Rev. Doc, On another busy day, your exposition of the truth reminds me that it is all about Christ and witnessing the love of Jesus to those around me. Just showing people a smile and even laying your hand gently on their shoulder communicates volumes. Thanks for your teaching. - WillieDoc
