The family made a trip up to Groveton, Texas today to watch my Dad be ordained as a Deacon. . The pastor read through 1 Timothy 3:1-13, my Dad gave his testimony, they brought my mom up where she gave her testimony, and the church leaders laid hands on them and prayed over them. . And then the part my kids were most excited about- CAKE! . I’m slowly getting to know the people here, and what an awesome community this church has! It’s such a great reminder that the “church” is not the building or the place we gather. The “church” is the body of believers together. This church is not afraid to roll up its sleeves and get its hands dirty to be the action of love to the people in the area. . Praying today that believers everywhere will lay down their fears, insecurities, discomfort and doubts and take a step of faith and begin to actively become the hands and feet of Jesus to others in this world. . . . #handsandfeet
