A Year of Blessing - February 9, 2010



It's like magic! I put my letter in the mailbox, and my trash on the curb (actually Pete does that!) and they disappear! (The mail and trash...not Pete.) What a blessing to live in a society that has services like these!

The people that work them are called 'public servants'. I was just thinking that that would be a good name for Christians. Public servants. People who serve the public...and in that serving, show Jesus to people who may not otherwise see Him...ever! Make me a servant, Lord, and let me bless others.

Luke 12:35-40 (New International Version)

Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
