A Rich Experience

Tonight we went Christmas carroling to the home of Jim and Lois Rich. They're both getting older, struggling with Parkinson's disease, Lois recently broke her collar bone, and Jim's had problems getting his medicines balanced. But just going to their home is such a blessing. I'm sure we blessed them by going, but they are such an encouragement to everyone else.

Old age and sickness isn't something anyone really looks forward to, but if God can use me like He does Jim Rich for His glory, then I'd like to live to be 150 years old! He's such a man of God just sitting there shaking on his sofa ... telling us that the important thing to remember about Christmas is that God sent His Son Jesus to save us so that we might have eternal life in Him. I needed to hear that tonight!

thinking of Jim and Lois ... and Jesus,
