October 13

My fingers have been cold most of the day.  That makes is more difficult for me to do almost anything else: grip things, type, ... .  It reminds me of the verses from 1 Corinthians about Christ's body!

"If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it.  You are the body of Christ and parts of each other."   1 Corinthians 12: 26-27

Gracious God,
You are generous and loving.  Please be merciful and forgive me when I forget how much the well being of others is linked to my own well being.  Please help me to remember that helping others is the key to my own abundant life.  In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, Amen.
