I have had the blessing lately of working on a rather large project that our church does annually. It is HUGE, and it takes a lot of people, doing a lot of things, and a lot of coordination to bring it all together. My part in it is so small it is almost insignificant but it has been a true blessing to be a part of it.
What has been truly amazing is the number of volunteers that have come out to work. The project has taken several weeks to put together and there are some that have been present at every work day, which has been a bunch. There are some retired guys that have worked tirelessly through the week! It is absolutely amazing.
So, why do they work so hard to bring this project together? Yes, it is good outreach for the church. Yes, it is an opportunity to share the Gospel with others. Yes, it is visually stunning and pleasing. But, I think the main reason is that these folks want to share the plan of salvation with others, AND, they know that GOD will reward their efforts.
Today's word is a reminder of GOD'S goodness to His children: "If GOD is my Boss, and I'm His employee, I'm very thankful for my everyday salary called LIFE! With benefits called BLESSINGS! And, a reward called ETERNAL LIFE!"
As Christians, we have already been given so much. As I like to say, "We have all this and Heaven, too." GOD has given us so much to be thankful for, so much to look forward to, that we just want others to know the Good News, or we should.
