I witnessed a beautiful act of charity
I have not taken the time to write much on Sunday, but today I saw something truly beautiful and noteworthy that to me represents the essence of what Sunday worship should mean and be.
In our church we have a family who’s husband has just left on active duty military service. His wife is now wholey responsible for the care of the home and 5 children (all under the age of 6 and the youngest is just a few months old). When this faithful sister came to church today, on her first Sunday alone, one of our young women saw her, and jumped up to assist. She helped the mother find a seat, get situated, and sat with her the entire meeting helping to care for the kids.
It was a beautiful act of service.
Very few people would have noticed the act, but those of us on the stand did and I know that God did. I teared up knowing that this dear young woman had truly learned the gospel. She knew how to live it!
So often in life we are not called on to do something great. Often we are simply asked to strengthen the feeble knees and to lift those in need of comfort. As Job taught us long ago, those who wish to be truly great will seek out for the cause they know not (job 29:16). God will often inspire us to act in seemingly insignificant ways, but that when these promptings are obeyed it will both increase our joy and strengthen our testimonies.
More than just about anthing else I heard today this young lady’s testimony of Christ in action taught me more than I could have hoped to learn from written word. Actions are a powerful testimony indeed!
