The younger boys and I are heading to the club pool here in just a bit. Austin will be at the tennis courts with her. Hubby has already finished his lesson for tonight and is off to the laundry mat. Septic tanks are not our friends. That's for another post though. This is our life......
I've been asked to explain our ministry..... That is some of what this blog is all about. We do not believe that all ministry takes place inside the walls of a building on Sunday morning or whenever or in the offices of those with a title attached to their names. We believe the majority of it takes place in daily living. Who we see as we swim at the club pool, play tennis with on the courts and/or at the laundry mat literally washing the dirty laundry. It can even take place on the internet. Yes, I just said that again.
We are to use each and every moment of our lives. Yes, I know there are some things that are seen as personal. Really personal. Yet..... if we are not willing to share in each other's day to day - then when the really personal things in life happen - are people willing to open up and truly share? TO seek the help that they need in truth and love? If we're only seen as happy plastic people living in a fantasy world so to speak - who would want us to come into their pits and help them up? Who would even think we care enough to do that?
That's just not acceptable to us. That's not who my hubby and I are called to be.... to do... We are called to share His love by walking with others throughout life and living. For example: Knowing hubby is heading to the laundry mat - my mom just gave him the sheets off her bed to wash. Some might say.... "Oh.. those are just too personal. Your husband has no business washing his mother-in-law's sheets." Really? No business?
I ask you today..... What is your business? Who do you work for? And what is your definition of too personal?
