(1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NCV) Be alert. Continue strong in the faith. Have courage, and be strong. (14) Do everything in love.

Just got the call to go out and help more with the flood damage.
But a brief thought from yesterday evening and this morning.
I gave him a ride home as he could barely walk. I helped him with his seatbelt.
I was strong for him. He was probably 30 years older than me.
I gave him my cart. I helped him load the dehumidifier in the cart, the last one, the one I was there for.
I was strong and kind. He was 28 years older than me.
He asked me if I needed help getting my package out of the car. I said, “You know what, yes.”
He was strong and kind. He was probably 25 years younger than me.
Just some words to you, my friends.
Be strong and kind as you have the opportunity. Do what Jesus would do with his hands and feet and back.
May God bless.
Now off to load the railroad cars heading to the washout.
