Hey, What about me?

When St, Peter healed the lame man in very beginnings of the New Testament the focus is on the man's reaction. He went walking and leaping and praising God. However, old St. Peter was in the same predicament that he was in before; pursued by people wanting to kill him, penniless, thrown out of his own church. In other words, once God's power manifested in Peter; life did not all of a sudden become rosy. Peter still had the same problems. Peter did however give what he had: The power of God to change lives. To his credit, St. Pete did not wallow in his problems. He gave all he had, in fact he gave some thing very precious to himself, his faith.

Maybe that's the lesson, Most of us are normal every day people. We truly do live on the borders of grace (I know I do). Blessings overflowing? Uh, I must not be at the top of the trickle. Does not really matter, God only wants me to give what I have, what ever he has given me in the situation that I am in.

So as I right this, having just filed for bankruptcy, coming down with Strep, having contracted some sort of GI virus as well. I still have my faith.It really does not seem to be doing me much good, but like old St. Peter I am not going to wallow, and I do have to love of God in Christ. What more is there? When some one asks, I am going to give-as poor as I am. Because one never knows what the power of God will do. Well Good Reader, time to throw this one into the Internet ocean. I hope some one get this one, and I hope it helps. Big D
