Final thoughts on Preparation...

this is taken from my devotional book -- "A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants" by Reuben Job and Norman Shawchuck. I really liked this when I read it the other day. It totally drives me to think about the fact that God came to our Earth to show us the way home, and in this He totally knew that it would be up to us to continue leading others on the way as well...so as we leave this topic, may this be encouragement as you continue to prepare to recieve the best gift ever!

Christ has
No body but yours;
No feet but yours;
Yours are the eyes
Through which is to look out
Christ's compassion to the world;
Yours are the feet
With which he is to go about
Doing good;
Yours are the hands
With which he is to bless now.

-- St. Teresa of Avila
