My dear friend decided to step in and stay in the grandparents home to care for this poor little guy and the family dog!
We were joking around about how unpredictable our lives our and wondering how other people seem to have regulated consistant life. We came to the conclusion that those who follow Christ, truly follow Him, must be available ANYTIME to His call. Even when it's inconvenient or less then ideal. My friend is able to love Jesus by loving this out of control little boy and minister to the grandmother at the same time. She's tired, stressed, and her kids are DONE! But, she is also showing her own children how to give of themselves in a world that promotes the idea "It's all about me." My friend is able to see the blessing in disguise through this trying and emotional situation.
Don't be afraid to drop everything to minister to those in need.
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him,[b] saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
