Dear Friends in Christ,
A
friend sent me the following and I like it very much.
I hope it is a blessing to you as well.
“A churchgoer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and
complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
“I’ve gone for 30 years now and in that time I have heard
something like 3,000 sermons.
But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of
them. So I think I’m
wasting my time and the pastors are wasting their time as well.”
This started a real controversy in the Letters to the Editor column.
It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
‘I’ve been married for 30 years now.
In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals.
But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for
a single one of those meals.
But I do know this.
They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do
my work. If my wife had
not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would
be spiritually dead today.
When you are down to nothing, God is up to something.
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and
receives the impossible.
Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment.”
See you in Church,
