….for you serve the LORD JESUS. Colossians 3:24

I am not sure what made think of Sam this afternoon. It may have stemmed from a conversation with my daughter. But looking back when I was still in high school, Sam always loved the LORD and loved serving in HIS name. It did not matter if he did not know the proper do's and don'ts to be an usher, every Sunday he would be right there at the door greeting everyone with a smile. It did not matter if he couldn't read all of the words to the songs and sang off key, he would usually be the first one in the choir stand every Sunday. If they needed an extra hand to pass around the collection plate, Sam would be the first one to volunteer. It did not matter whether he had a nickel, a dime, a quarter or a dollar in his pocket, because when it came down to giving, he would give every penny he had on him. Sam did not come to church to gossip or for church mess, he came for one thing and one thing only, and that was to serve his JESUS.It has been almost 37 years since I finished high school but Sam, who should be close to 70, still love to serve his JESUS and does it with joy and child like faith each Sunday.
