Today I received an email from a man named Homer. Homer rode the church bus to my children’s church when he was a kid. I haven’t seen Homer in years. He wrote to thank me and the church for all we have done for him and his family. Part of this email said: “I want to thank you and brother Rod for changing my life, for not only leading me to Christ but also showing me what it means to believe in Christ. Believe it or not I learned allot from watching the both of you and that to me means everything…”
I grinned ear to ear when I read his email. I also found a tear forming in my eye. Never forget the difference you are making as you teach kids every Sunday. Only in eternity will you know the difference you have made.
“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10
That is awesome!! I remember Homer!!! What a great pick me up on a Monday morning, huh? Keep up the great work, Ryan
That is a great testimony. Need to share that in church!
That is awesome Ryan!
I am always blown away when a kid sends me a note saying i made a big difference in his life. Often my memories of the kid are not as fond as his are of me. I read the note and think, “dude, you were that punk kid sitting in the back row who would never stop talking.” Those moments I am reminded that God is in the business of changing lives!
