The Body of Christ is rich in its whole and in its many parts, its people. Today I celebrate some of those riches. I celebrate great friends, Tim and Carrie Merfeld. Tim has just left us for Heaven and Carrie is bravely coping with a great deal, of course.
My friends modeled love and generosity. Their love for Jesus and for people made it easy to identify them as Christians. They have been great friends and hosts when I visited them. I am so much richer for their friendship.
Tim and I shared many serious things and some not so serious. We joked that we knew we were truly Christ’s because Tim was a Cub fan and I am a Cardinal fan and we still loved each other like the brothers we were and are.
I honor my sister Carrie. A woman of God, spiritual and practical. I pray for strength, grace, and peace for her.
All around us are riches, the people of God. We are richer than we have realized. Look around enjoy your riches.
This week’s post is short but you can be assured that being a blogger I’ll make up for it later. Grace and Peace to you in this coming week.
