Serving

This week I spent my evenings serving at the South Point Church food pantry/clothing closet. The lady in charge is Ms. Val, we go way back to my previous career. She had been recently widowed & had spent the last year dealing with major depression. Ms. Val was assigned to my department & I immediately wanted to help her, but wasn’t sure how. I started praying for her. As time went on she started opening up more & more. She told me about the night she attempted to take her life. After that Ms. Val looked at me & I’m not sure what type of response she was wanting. I was a bit taken back, I said “Wow God has big plans for your future.” I invited her to church each week & she politely declined time after time. After quiet a while she accepted, I think to get me to stop. She showed up & has never left!!! She was baptized shortly after & serves God with her whole heart. I’m am so blessed that I get to call her my friend & sister in Christ. I get to see first hand an example of how to serve. She works the food pantry/clothing closet each month & knows that God will provide for each person that walks through the door. June 2017 SPC served a record 33 families (120 people)!! This is huge!! Gods light was shining bright this past Saturday from a little gym behind a church in Abilene, Texas!!!
