Disciples Serve

At TLC, we are doing a series called Disciple. Last week, the topic was "Disciples Serve".
I have been thinking about all the ways that those around us can serve one another.

Jesus took a Towel, knelt down and washed the feet of His disciples.
He did what needed to be done but that most find either uncomfortable or unnecessary.

There are those in our society who lay down everything-their liberty, comfort, and sometimes their lives in order to do that which is necessary. We question thier choices, belittle their sacrifices but most of all we forget.


Nathan Hornburg was killed in Afghanistan:

This is his family's statement :

"He never shrunk from responsibility, no matter how difficult the call. In a way, that's why he chose to join the Canadian Forces, to serve with the King's Own Calgary Regiment, and in the end, to go to Afghanistan. He had a warrior's heart, never afraid to lead from the front, and encourage those behind him to be brave in the face of adversity. The fact that Nathan volunteered to go to Afghanistan, and the way in which he did so, were characteristic of Nathan's approach to life, and any major decision."

I feel compelled to daily remember those who are ready and willing to put themselves in harm's way for the betterment and protection of others. To those who serve us with their lives- THANK YOU!
