Today's thought is. I am the one.
Today I finished raking up some sticks and leaves that were in my little yard area. And someone called me crazy. I like to be outside and I like to rake. I know it's not everyone's favorite time. But it's my favorite time. The statement was you know someone gets paid to do that? See I live in apartments, so someone does get paid to maintain the lawn probably. But I said so they don't do it so I am. And it got me to thinking about something I heard at church. Be the one. In ministry one of the areas that is always lacking is volunteers. Because we all say someone else will do it. But the problem is, someone else is me. Someone else is you. We have to at some point say pick me. Let me serve God. I may not be good at it but here I am use me. And I do. More often than not I will float and do whatever is needed. I don't have kids in the nursery. But you will find me there. I don't have kids in some of the classes I teach, but I can be found there also from time to time. I said my house was messy. When really it's just cluttered. It's more presentable now. But my statement pertaining the leaves and it not being my job. I said I know it's not my job but I have to live here and where there is brush, leaves, and debris. There are snakes. And just like I don't want a snake in my home, I don't want a snake in my yard. So I am the one. Here I am Lord, send me. I know this one isn't normal. Too much for a Facebook so now it's a blog!
