Kingdom Work

Mondays are like a ' new dawn', a fresh start to life, the beginning ... Today is the beginning of life without the smile and laughter of a daughter/sister. Today the Wright family begins walking out their new beginning.

As I reflect on the phone call I received early last Sunday morning alerting me to the accident which took the life of Julie Wright-Allen, I am reminded of the hands and feet of Christ which carried family and friends through the journey from acknowledgement to committal.

Yesterday, Bill called to say they are facing their new reality. In the midst of our conversation he was quick to say the Kingdom of God was reflected through acts too numerous to count. He heard, ".. it's okay to be mad at God'. His response was quintessential Bill ...' it's not even on my radar to be mad. I see the Love of God and He has spoken so clearly to me.'

Today is a new dawn for the Wright Family. The Kingdom of God has been at hand. God's love for us magnified by our love for each other. He called and we obeyed. Food, diapers, delivered gravel, snow-plowing, hotel rooms, funeral expenses, notes, calls, family, friends and so much more. Bill and Renee say thanks for being the hands and feet of Christ.

So, we move forward into a new day, a new week, steadfast in our Kingdom work; to care for the Body.

Romans 8: 38-39 (AMP) ... For I am persuaded beyond doubt that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, not things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
