“So
then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men,
and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.”
Galatians
6:10 KJV
If you missed your
congregation’s sign up list to prepare meals for those in need, drop off some
snacks such as sausage balls, banana bread or fresh fruit. Many times families
dealing with these life-changing events don’t really sit down to a meal but they
will snack when they feel like it. When my grandmother passed away, a dear
sister brought our family a loaf of blueberry bread for breakfast the day of
the burial and another congregation left a tray of lunchmeats, cheese and
crackers in the break room of the funeral home since the visitation was in the
evening. When my grandfather had surgery, a precious friend brought a bag of
BBQ and fixins' for sandwiches to the waiting room. Another brought a basket
full of goodies, such as peanut butter crackers, small candy bars and peanuts.
Their thoughtfulness touches me to this day.
(If those you are taking
this too are not members of the Lord's church, include a couple of tracts with
information about it and business cards with the local congregation's contact
information.)
“Everything the local congregation does should be
evangelistically oriented, for our real goal is the souls of men and women.”
