It is the Second Sunday of the month which means serving at the Soup Kitchen! Our local soup kitchen is open 5 days a week and closed over the weekend. This means that many people go hungry between Friday and Monday. A man in our church felt the call to serve hot dogs one Sunday a month. Our family has had the privilage to serve 4 months now.
Last month I wrote about a man who had beaten over the head with a bat and had been in the hospital for 6 weeks and no one was sure if he would survive. Well this month we got to serve the Mircle Man! His sister shared that he was in a comma for 21 days and she didn't know what to do for him but she felt lead to read Psalm to her brother. She had never picked up a bible before her in life but she had heard about Psalm so that is what she read. She read it to her brother and when she was done she went right back to Psalm 1:1 and started again. She said that she prayed the Lord would not only bring her brother back but that he would know the God she was reading about! 21 days into his comma the Lord, the healer, answered her prayer. The man woke up and screamed "HALLELUJAH". It was so loud that the nurses rushed into the room. He is alive today and he has joy in his heart and he is truly thankful for each day he has!
We go to the Soup Kitchen to serve and bless others but instead I am the one who is blessed!
Sometimes I got down on life and let things bother me. Or I find myself discontent with what I have. I want to live a life like Mircle Man. Though he has NOTHING to possess, he has Jesus and that makes life worth living!
