Day 174 Tonights Community Connections Dinner

Community Connections Dinner

As the day winds down my thoughts drift to this evenings Community Connections Appreciation Dinner. After yesterdays line up; which had 8 new families, I certainly have a new appreciation. One of gratefulness that God has provided for my family and that everything I have is from the Lord.

In away I feel a little odd about attending this event for I feel like this is too much for the effort that I have put in so far. This being my first year I don’t quite feel like I have paid my dues, especially since Godly women who have faithfully served for 10 years surround me. They deserve all of the appreciation and our partners over at the Daily Food Bank.

I am however; proud to call APC my home church, and one that encourages more than just talk about reaching out into the community. If nothing else I encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for the team and community.

May the lord continue to bless this ministry and give the servers a heart of grace and understanding. I ask that we have continued success and opportunities to not only feed the body but also the heart and soul with the testimony of the Lord.

Matthew 25:31-40

King James Version (KJV)

 ³¹When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

 ³²And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

 ³³And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

 ³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 ³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

 ³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

 ³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

 ³⁸When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

 ³⁹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

 ⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
