Ladies Love Ministry by Joyce Felton
Working with the strong Christians and seeing their steadfast
faith has been such a blessing to me and made me want that closeness to the
Lord for myself. There is not a day that passes that I don’t think about my
friends who attend and our friends who can’t be with us because they are not
able. God has given me a love for this ministry.
The question is ”How can we not see and experience God each
day as we pray for and minister to others?" What a lovely time of community and
fellowship we have each month as we share about the needs and answered prayers
from the month before. Wouldn’t you say that is sharing life? And serving
others with cards, calls, visits, and prayers? It is staying connected with
those who can’t physically stay connected to us. Most of our group do not text
or Facebook, but there is nothing wrong with their ability to take the time to
call and visit with each other and those in need. Amazing!
I am reminded of the chorus of an old song “Others” that goes like this:
”Others, Lord, yes others
Let this my motto be.
Help me to live for others,
that I might live like Thee.”
Being with this group of ladies has been one of the greatest
blessings. They are the most caring and generous people I know. They keep
up with the ones who are sick or hurting and keep me informed of the needs of
others. They are truly a group of prayer warriors.
The work and commitment these ladies put in reminds me of Ephesians
4:32a says “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted……” and again in Matt.
25:35-4 when the Lord said (and I paraphrase) when you have done anything for
one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it for me.
