One church, and a truck-

And Jesus will answer them, "Whatever you neglected to do unto one of these least of these, you neglected to do unto Me!"

Jesus never turned His head from need. He is our example.


A few posts ago, I told you about a couple that I met a while back who were struggling financially to the point of losing their home. Well, the worst has happened.. they are in the middle of foreclosure proceedings, and had to move this past weekend. I don't know about you, but from an earthly standpoint, that looks and feels like one of those "rock bottom" places to me. I know we each deal with our own individual demons, but financial issues have always scared the living daylights out of me, and for God to ask me to work with a family facing something that is terrifying to me, is odd, I think. ( His ways are not our ways..)

I also told you that my friend made the comment to me " You know, sometimes rock bottom is the best place to be, because that is where people find Jesus." I know in my heart that is true, I found Him there myself ( or at least was re-aquainted with Him in such a way that I have not been the same since)- and I have seen it a hundred times. This weekend I think I saw it again.. Jesus showed up to move these folks and minister to them in a most amazing way!

Our church has this unspoken ministry.. The Moving Guys. Sid and I were both astounded a year ago when they came into our home like a SWAT team, packed us up and moved us in less than a day. Did you hear me say I AM NOT PACKED YET??? ( This was my recurring question as my brothers and sisters threw everything we owned into any bag or box and carried it across the street.. )I felt like I was in an indoor tornado. My head was spinning and I felt dizzy.. but my heart was full of love and gratitude for these amazing people. WHO would do that for someone?

Jesus. There He was , with skin on, moving all my stuff.

I was blessed to experience this from the other side , this past weekend. My friends were the ones watching in shock and amazement as these big guys came , loaded up their house of furniture, drove it to the new place and unloaded in less than two hours. I watched Jesus, in the form of these giant hearted men , wrap love all over a family who does not yet know their Father.. but they sure saw Him that day- for the first time. I know she saw Him, because she told me. For the first time.. she thinks there really may be something to the whole "Jesus" deal. Her hubby, who is pretty much agnostic- asked her for the first time in the 15 years she has known him... if she thought they should maybe check out this "Church" thing. There is more to come.. God is NOT done here yet!! Praise Him!

I am overwhelmed, I am humbled beyond words, and I am on my knees thanking my Abba Father today. He is huge. He is love and He is very real... and He is on the "MOVE" in more ways that you can count.


Lord, You are good.
Bring your lost ones home, Father.

Blessings,
