California – Servant’s

Many of you have asked my thoughts on the California trip.  My first thought to you is…’You must go and see for yourself’.  But as I think more about it….that is my only thought….’you must go’.  I am mostly amazed at their servant’s hearts.  Have you been to the store before and asked the clerk where to find something?  What usually happens?  Yes, that’s happened to me before too…they just point to some obscure corner of the store and say ‘It’s over there to your left just a little bit on aisle 9′.  Then, they are off to do what they were doing before you so rudely interrupted them.  At this conference, if I was asked once, I was asked several times, if there was anything i needed or could they help me with something or let me show you where that is.  From the ushers, to the greeters, to the staff…ALL seemed to have servant’s hearts.  I am SURE that these are busy folk, the size of the place indicates that they are busy, but I think they see more than just being busy….they see people!  WOW, imagine that….seeing people instead of ‘projects’ or ‘programs’ or our own agenda’s.  I’m sure behind the scenes there was a little scurry or last minute ‘copy’ to get, but in all Lancaster Baptist Church has been taught the importance of people.  Praise the Lord! I have been challenged to set aside what I’m doing and just help others.
