Responsibility

Sunday, June 22, 2008 was a very special day for our family. Evan, our baby boy, was dedicated to God.
It was a beautiful ceremony because we were surrounded by our lovely family and church family. Evan was dedicated along with our dear friends Micah and Maria’s beautiful daughter Skylee. It was all so wonderful. I know God has a wonderful work in store for our children.

Monday, June 23, 2008 was a difficult time for the family. A loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend was laid to rest. Georgia was a lovely woman. It was very difficult to say goodbye, but we all knew she was in Heaven celebrating her new life with God.
Chris was asked to do the eulogy. He has never done that before so I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for him to do his first one at his own grandmother’s funeral. He did an amazing job. He didn’t just speak about her; he spoke about Heaven and the importance of giving your heart to Jesus Christ.

How many of us have grieved over family members who have passed away? Did you wonder whether they went to Heaven or hell? What have we done to let our family know how much Jesus loves them?
Once we become saved, we are all required to reach out to others and share the love of Christ. If there is an unsaved person in your life, it is your responsibility to share Jesus with them. If not and they die and go to hell, that person’s blood is on your hands.
I know I have not done a good enough job. We all would benefit from praying and asking Jesus to help us have the boldness and the ability to reach others and bring them to Christ.
Ask God to help you reach out to someone today and every day. Our time here on earth is so limited. We have to use it wisely.
