A very dear friend was lamenting that she felt she couldn't and didn't help me in any way. We talked and talked about it. I felt she does all she can. (she lives in another state a long way from me). She loves me, always comes to see my when she's here in Oregon, writes to me, etc.... Still she felt badly that she sees me in a life that is so different than hers. She works full time, is involved in her church and other ministries, has a busy family, etc....
It got me to thinking. She does many ministries that I would love to do, but simply can't. And then it occurred to me. She is my hands and feet. I am her prayer partner. I lift her up and support her, and she goes about the doing.
We make a great pair! I know there is a song out about being God's hands and feet, but I'd never thought about someone being mine before. I can pray and support others in what they are able to "do", thus allowing them to continue the work of God. I can pray and support them. Together we are making this world a better place and I am contributing also.
What a gift! I get to "do" something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Praying for you all and hoping this is a great day for you!!!
Blessings,
Elaine
