A Servants Heart

Good Morning!! I received a message this week from a girl that was brought into the CIG for this first time..... "I loved the wonderful, inspirational decor; how wonderful it must be to serve God while serving others"......to work at the CIG you have to have a servants heart. This week had been pretty stressful, not just personally but for our great nation. I have read things and heard things thatbreaks my heart. I am a citizen of a great nation.....I live in a country that the citizen's falls to their knees in prayer when a hurrican hits one of our states, they send clothes, blankets, food and money to try to lesson their fellow Americans burdens. My son has the great opportunity to attend FCA, fellowship of christian atheletes....a group of teenagers, up North, got together and made a map of service stations that were functioning, so the residents in the states effected by Sandy would know where gas was available....they had servants hearts, they were allowing our heavenly father to use them.... I live in a nation that allows me to display signs that shows who I serve and allows me to pray at any given moment. I live in a nation filled with people that celebrates our men and women in uniform and grieves when we loose a brave life. When I hear church bells ringing it brings peace and joy because I live in a great nation and I know who is in control....Happy Beautiful Friday yall.... Yesterday as Capt. Rick Greer was being driven to his resting place...(only his body, he was not there) he was being driven by his fellow fire fighters in a beautiful shiny red fire truck...many cars were filled with grieving family and friends and then they all experienced the best of their fellow citizens....as the truck was approaching a work zone area they saw something that took their breath away....these men that work on our highways everyday...stopped and paid respect to a person they did not know, with their hard hats placed across their chest they stood in silence....to honor my friend Rick. This is the nation we live in......No matter what the outcome was on Tuesday. I will still bow my head and pray to my heavenly father...King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Sometimes we get so caught up with problems that we forget to see the beauty and then the Lord gives us a gift...seeing thoses strangers with their hard hats off was a gift and reminded me what a wonderful country our heavenly father has given to us!!
