God's plan for our lives starts before our birth. He knows who will play a part in it, and how it will end. As I wrote the last two blogs, God started to show me the importance of what we call the little things.
We have relationships for a far bigger place in our lives than we will ever know on this side of Glory. The Parents we have, our brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren, everyone that we know are players in our journey. It doesn't matter if they are high profile or are homeless, they all play a part in our development. As Christians we need every experience that God gives us. He knows what He wants us to learn from each personal contact we make.
I want to talk about three people. The first is a young girl that was our neighbor, the Church Basement Lady, and Arnold.
The girl now is a young woman with children of her own, a stay-at-home mom, and a dear friend to our ministry. Sharron, you are a great encouragement to Pat and me, sometimes when I am writing our blog, I think of all the things that God has helped you through in life. I won't mention them but God has been good to you, and we want to encourage you to continue growing in The Lord.
The Church Basement Lady. I don't know how many times you have performed your part, but when you were in Watertown, South Dakota, your part made me aware of a void that I had in my life. If I would have missed the show, I would not have the compassionate heart I have today. May God richly bless you in your endeavors
To my friend Arnold. If I would have known when you allowed me to take your picture, that it was going to have such a impact on my life, I would have been kinder and more loving. You don't even know me, but I will always call you my friend. I feel very close to you even though I don't know where you are, or even if you are still alive. But I ask for God's richest blessings on you. I pray for you and know that you were used by God to give me a richer life.
When it's all said, and done, you three people have been used of God to build His Kingdom. "Well done thou good and faithful servants!!"
