JUST A THOUGHT . . . . .

(FROM THE PERSON IN THE NEXT PEW)

Recently I overheard someone asking Pastor Rick if he knew who wrote this monthly article some years ago. He didn't, since it was before his time at TAPC. I confessed that I was the author. Pastor suggested that maybe I should try again to gather my thoughts into an article of faith. So here I am, feeling "needed" again. Which brings me to my subject. Having just passed through one of the "neediest" times of the year - the holidays - when we all feel over-needed, (family, church, charities, cooking, baking, shopping, etc. to the point of never wanting to be needed again), it is important to remember that we are needed by God to do his work and be of service to all people. It is even more important to remember that we need God in our lives at all times - to guide us and nurture our spirit. To be needed in God's house - and among the people of our community and the world - is a task we should take joyfully. If we weren't needed, we would feel lonely and unloved. Finding a happy medium is never easy. The next time you feel "over-needed" try to do what is important in God's eyes and you will only feel burdened with love. You will truly be lifted up. For to serve others, even in small ways, is the best way to be needed. Pray about this!
