a simple reminder

this morning i was reading a few more chapters of Living the Cross Centered Life, and the plea was to share that which is so vital to christian lives…the Gospel. in the previous chapter it spoke about telling yourself about the cross/Gospel. now it hit home on being willing to give to others what God has given you.

this afternoon i was sitting at the commons desk working, and i read a sign for the blood drive. it read, “THE GIFT OF LIFE RUNS THROUGH YOU. GIVE BLOOD.” though the appeal was to give blood, it reminded me of the necessity to give what truly is running through every believer. the gift of life is eternally in us through the spilt blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. this is the Gospel, and it is our duty to give to those who do not have this gift of life.

is this gift of life running through you? if it is, then it should be given to others as well. if it isn’t, then there is no better time than to accept it now.

We will be praying for you as you finish up the last few weeks. I am reading a book on how to be a better Shephards Wife. The book is called One With the Shephard. It is very good.
