Faithful

As I have reflected this past week and thought about what to say today, I keep going back to a couple of weekends ago. My parents and I drove to West Texas to attend the funeral of a family friend of ours. The emotions were complex. We were sad to see him go but know that he is in a better place. Througout the day, I kept pondering and asking questions about this friend to my dad. Isn't it amazing how that at funerals we actually take the time to reminisce and think about what makes that person so special, so great. We think about how they influenced our own lives. We long for one more chance to tell them what they meant to us. As my dad shared the story of the parable of the talents, he read these verses " The man with the two talents also came, Master, he said, you entrusted me with two talents; see I have gained two more. His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" (Matt 25:22-23) I often wonder what others would say about me at my funeral. What would Jesus say to me? I want to encourage each of you that Jesus sees your talents being used to glorify Him. You may think that you only have small talents that no else sees but He sees them. We see them. Our children see them. I appreciate each of you being willing to be used of Him. And know this, Jesus is saying "Well done, good and faithful servant" to each of you.
