Someone Else
The church bowed in grief this week to learn that one of our most valuable members, Someone Else, passed away. This death creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Someone Else has been with us for many years. During all these years, Someone Else did far more than a normal person's share of the work. Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results.
Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list ~ "Let Someone Else do it."
Someone Else was also among the largest givers of the church. Whenever there was a financial need, everyone just assumed that Someone Else would make up the difference.
This beloved church member was a wonderful person, sometimes appearing superhuman; but a person can only do so much. Everyone expected too much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone.
Who will pitch in to do the things that Someone Else has done? If you are asked to take a job in church, we hope you won't reply, "Let Someone Else do it." Now we need you to pick up where Someone Else left off.

"What doth it profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith,
and have not works?
can faith save him?"
James 2:14
May God bless you with strength for the day,
light for the way,
grace for the trials, help from above,
with His unconditional love.
Serving in His Love,
Sandy
