This Sunday on the way to church we drove passed a man who was walking along the roadside. This man has very bent legs and could not stand or walk unassisted. Every step was a chore for him...Every step!!. This morning it was at least 98 degrees and the sun was beaming down. Yet there he was making his way down the side of the street.
Susan and I stopped to offer him a ride, I asked where he was going and he said " Going to church...Got to get to church" He said. As it turned out he was going to our church. We had very nice conversation as we enjoyed the air conditioner in the car on the way to church. The service was very powerful and anointed.
It made me think of how many excuses we make up not to go to church...to tired, its raining, what tie to wear, just don't feel it any more, lets go to the lake......Yet here Ed was in mid summer in all of his hardships and....nothing was going to stop him from getting to the house of God. Nothing was going to stop him!!!
Note: At the end of the service I noticed Ed at the alter surrounded by prayer ministers (at least 8) with hands on him, calling out to God in his behalf. I am sure Ed was blessed that Sunday.
Think about it a while.....and we will See you in church this Sunday!
