eager to learn

Today, we invited our neighbor over for dinner. She’s an elderly woman, but her faith in Christ is incredibly strong. From the moment we met her, my husband and I felt a deep sense of joy and gratitude to have her in our lives, and we wanted to find ways to serve and help her.

To my surprise, my husband took the lead for the first time, preparing most of the meal and even cleaning up afterward, which brought me so much joy. Throughout the evening, we got to know her better. She shared with us how she’s faithfully practiced tithing, and I was deeply moved by her commitment to serving others. She lives alone with no family nearby and faces health challenges that limit her activities. Yet, despite these hardships, her heart for service shines. Incredibly, she’s also the first person I’ve met who doesn’t own a cellphone!

I’m eager to learn more from someone who has followed Christ so faithfully throughout her life. Lord, You’ve arranged everything for our good. Let us be a blessing to her, and may Your love flow through our Christ-centered hearts.
