Today was a fun day. This past week, the principal of our Christian school and I worked on fixing a leaking toilet and this simple project ending up being a complete remodeling of that bathroom. Now, neither one of us are skilled contractors or builders. We do our best to do things right and when we can't we find help. We reached one of those points in our project in regards to the mudding and taping of the drywall and some of the plumbing. In our church we have a former drywaller and a plumber. Of course we called these men to help us and both were more than willing to come out and give us a hand. We were quite grateful for their willingness and their help as they saved us lots of time.
I think sometimes as we serve in ministry, we look to ourselves to get all the things done and forget that God has given us people to help us in ministry. As people help, they receive blessings and enjoyment. It doesn't mean we overly use them and constantly call on them, but rather we don't neglect those who could help us. Asking for help can be a humbling experience, knowing you cannot complete a specific task, but we understand that humility gives us strength and shows our people we are not proud. Find out the talents in your congregation. Ask for your people to help with a project. As they help, you will find you'll have a stronger church and a joyfully congregation.
BTW, we have almost completed the remodeling of the bathroom. Yeah!!!
