Pastors Blog      "I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward." Mark 9:41 I just want to take a moment today and thank everyone who makes time to help volunteer for any position at your local church. Thank you for everyone who has cooked a meal for a family that have been through a tragedy or for those bringing new life into this world. Thank you for those who have given clothes or toys to families with young kids. Thank you for everyone who has helped fix a car, a fence, a tire, a house for someone who was not able. I thank you  because what happens is that most of these tasks go without thanks and it would be so easy for us to stop. But God always notices. It is so important that we continue to offer our help even if no one thanks us. Most ministries if you head them up you will find that all you hear about are complaints. It is rare that you get a pat on the back or a thank you. And we should not be programmed to need that from  anyone. I have a saying from the scriptures, “I work heartily as unto the Lord!” I say this quite often because otherwise I would give up on some of the things I volunteer my time for. I have to put it into perspective. I work for God. I help others because I work for Him and Him alone. About Elder Jackson Motto: “Work while it is day for when night comes, no man can work."
