One Bread, One Body - Reflection for June 25, 2007

A LONG-DISTANCE CALL

"Go forth...to a land that I will show you." –Genesis 12:1

Eighteen years ago, God called our family to leave behind all that was familiar, move hundreds of miles, and join Presentation Ministries as volunteers. In a small way, I came to learn some of what Abram learned about following the Lord:

PRAYER: Lord, "here I am...send me!" (Is 6:8)
PROMISE: "The measure with which you measure will be used to measure you." –Mt 7:2
PRAISE: Praying for a job for her son, Marcia accepted what God provided for her child even though it was not the type of work she would have chosen for him.
