Dear
Friends of Rise Up Lubbock,
You know I
like to talk about coffee. Well, I was just setting here thinking about how I
only have control of my coffee at my end. I mean, have no control over any part
of the coffee processing except the blessing and enjoyment part of drinking
coffee. I know that there are pickers, roasters, and processers and many people
that are involved in how my coffee gets to my cup, but the only thing I have any
control over is how I brew it and pour it. So, as I said, I get the blessing
part of the process. I get the enjoyment.
It's kinda humbling to think of all those are people working just so
that the coffee can be sold in a grocery near me and that I can enjoy - my
coffee. My Christian life is also full
of blessings that I didn’t put there. Those blessings were put into my life
because of a praying mother, thoughtful prayerful friends, and the prayers of
my loving family! They were prayed into my life and God honored their prayers
and blessed me. That is a humbling thought. As a son, friend, husband, and
father I have a responsibility to live worthy of their sacrifices for me… and
then to think of the one who gave the most; the one who sacrificed the most…
Jesus. How humbling to know that what he did was for me. Wow.
