Romans 15:1 NASB "Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not just please ourselves."It wasn't so much about getting the job done as it was about the journey getting there! Today's verse speaks to us about strength and weakness and how we can use our strength to help those who are weak! As they came into the fire house, I noticed him right away. He was lagging behind the others because of his weakness in his legs. His eyes lit up when he came closer to the fire truck and I could see the excitement. While the other children cut in front of him to spray the hose, he waited patiently for his turn. When it was his turn, I have him extra time to enjoy spraying the water and the smile that was on his face was priceless! Sometimes in life, we who are blessed with strength need to help those who are weak for no other reason than to please them rather than ourselves! As I carried him back to the bus, we talked about what a good job he did with the hose and I could see him smile a little bigger! Let's get the focus off of us and help those in need, its what Jesus did! peace, tom
