Luke 14:13-14 (ESV) - “13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Yesterday I was blessed to participate in facilitating a Christmas feast for the developmentally and physically disabled patrons who are clients of one of my consulting assignments. What a wonderful affair it was. While many may be attending festivities where the highlight of the day surrounds over-dressing and over-eating, we experienced unspeakable joy to be amongst God’s children who are examples of “over-coming”.
Many of the individuals we serve are just as the scripture describes – lame, crippled and blind. But their spirits are whole and in tune with God and he has selected us to bless them with activities that keep their spirits soaring. The CEO/Founder of the agency not only aspires to meet their basic needs, but she moves them from the ranks of clients to the fellowship of family members. Each one is treated like a relative and loved beyond measure. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Feeding, fellowshipping, making and sharing memories with the “least of these”, who really show us that they are the ‘greatest of us all”.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a victoriously GREAT day!. Be blessed!. Rev. Dr. JoAnn
