Every now and again I need to pinch myself to know I am not dreaming. I am a blest soul living amongst some of the most faithful and generous people in all His Kingdom.

I can relate to Paul who said: “… your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything”
(1 Thessalonians 1:8 ESV).

As I walk through the Summit Building, I see evidence of your love. In the kitchen are bags packed with food. On the kitchen table are Christmas gifts for a Head Start classroom. In the office are gifts for someone else. In the refrigerator the Lord’s Supper has been prepared for those who would be attending.

Each one of these mentions has a special story. Let us take just the Lord’s Supper bread. It has been baked with love. Then individually placed inside a tiny little packet by a sister whose fine motor skill has been limited by arthritis. So much love! And this has been ongoing for several months!

Our community is aware of our faith, love, and generosity. This morning as I led the “Stress Management Workshop” for our Northern Kentucky Head Start I did not need to introduce myself. Your good works have gone out to everyone. Your thoughtfulness means so much to others. Thank you for being you – faithful & generous members of the churches of Christ.
