There are many times I am so happy to be a pastor of a caring and compassionate church. Today I opened two emails that touched my heart. One was from our mission chair person who informed me that he had authorized some money to go to aid the disaster victims in Missouri and he also informed me that one of our members is on his way. He has been trained to help and is going to see what he can do. The other email was from a person in a Sunday school class who is seeking help to distribute food to some needy families in our community.
Not only have I received emails today but I went to the hospital to visit a person from our congregation. When I entered the room I saw some of our members in the room and they were there to help in any way they could. It truly has been a day that has reminded me that in God’s kingdom there are many workers and I am blessed to know some of them.
I am often guilty of judging the church by numbers. How many are in this or that activity? But numbers cannot tell the total story of a Church’s health. Today I learned again that O’Fallon First has those who are listening to God and reaching out in His love to others. Is not this a sign of spiritual health, too?
