Addendum to Previous Post re: Mean Church People

My morning Bible reading was SPOT ON re: my previous post, so I thought I’d share it with you too:

“One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:6-10

What a great reminder that we are to “share all good things” with those who teach us!

(I wonder … what can we do TODAY to bless our pastors and other church leaders? A two-second email? Real snail-mail card? (If we have the financial means …) a gift card to their favorite restaurant?)

And what a comfort to know that when WE try to bless and serve well and are mistreated, we don’t have to give up. Because we are not persevering for the OTHER PEOPLE–we are simply obeying God and “sowing to the Spirit.”

Ahhhhh–just what I needed … a reminder to keep my heart fixed on eternity. What else matters?

Hope your Friday is a blessed one. We’re going to try to get Soph’s 5th birthday picture taken today!

Yours,
