Blessings on her indeed. May her tribe increase.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Paul Burlesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021178307705707423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-84955398494819453682014-03-11T02:22:28.592-05:002014-03-11T02:22:28.592-05:00Paul,

I was speaking to my sister about this very topic.<br /><br />Her and her husband have recently retired from home missionary work,and are now travelling in a caravan. They came across the area in the state of Victoria which was recently devastated by bush fires and joined up with a group of people helping to rebuild infrastructure.<br /><br />Sis. said they were asked what they used to do and why they decided to help when the people they were helping weren't known to them, Her answer was, "We are Christians and want to show the love of Christ to these people"<br /><br />I was floored when she told me none of the local churches in the area are helping.<br /><br />I'm reminded of Alexander the Great when he was recruiting for his army. One of his soldiers found a young man hiding in the back of a cave.<br /><br />"Young man! What is your name?"<br /><br />A very tremulous answer was offered, "Alexander, sir".<br /><br />Alexander drew himself up to his full height, "Young man! Change your conduct, or change your name!"<br /><br />Ahem!!<br /><br /><br /> Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.com
