My buddy T has something for us again this Wednesday.
I have a new future friend, as of now he is a new acquaintance. This gentleman is as gracious, friendly and courteous as any of my now friends. The difference is he is committed to a wheel chair to traverse his existence here on earth. It wasn’t long ago I knew him only by sight but through a blessing I have started to come to know him and learn that we have quite a few things in common. The other day, in his presence, I was performing what is a very easy task for me on most days. Standing and kneeling. It embarrassed me as I thought how much I take for granted, with my new acquaintance not getting the pleasure of either or even the pleasure of taking it for granted. On most days I’ll admit, I cheat when I’m kneeling. I’ll either lean forward as I sit in the pew or lean back against the pew for some relief. I decided I’m never going to do that again. I will kneel with dedication and pride. Why? Because I should be kneeling out of respect for what is happening in the service, but also I will do it because my new acquaintance (friend) can’t and I want to do it for him. The best thought I had this week. Our time here is short. We all have our crosses. He carries his admirably, with grace. One day, after this new acquaintance and I become FRIENDS, I will not only be able to kneel with him in front of our Lord, but walk and even run with him. Now that’s something to look forward to. AMEN
