I've ranted about our unwillingness to step outside ourselves to serve. I've raved about our desire for comfort and safety over our desire to participate in God's kingdom work.
Today, I want to point you to a friend who chose the dangerous yet loving path. She, her husband, and her three kids took a Christmas meal to inmates at a prison.
Fun surprises: the gratitude of the inmates.
More than that, how she was blessed by them.
Yes - I agree, Robin chose a dangerous task - yet such a wonderful experience for her whole family!
Your kind words here, the links to this post, caught me by surprise (you had already left encouraging words on the post). I'm in the middle of a third installment, I never expected to have this much to say, ya know?
I mean, I KNOW it affected me (it always does when we go), but I didn't "plan" on writing this much...lol, now that I've begun, I can't seem to stop!
I'll letcha know when I'm done....for now, thanks for your generous thoughts.
