The Body of Christ

"Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. . . if the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be."
1 Corinthians 12:12, 17-18

Tim Meloon, Bob Lee, Joe Aughtry, Louis Waters, and Paul Rogers. My brother, Dee McCraw, took the picture.

Yesterday, this group of men gave up their Saturday to help us. I'm sure they all had things they either could have been doing or would rather have been doing with their Saturday, but they chose to help us out--one of them does not even know us personally.

We had a room full of furniture and boxes stored at our house in SC and needed to have it all moved to a storage facility. It was alot of stuff, and it was raining to boot.

Storing our things at our house has been a blessing for us, because up to now, it has been free. The time has come, however, to move the remainder of our things into storage. We couldn't be there to oversee the move or movers, but this is when our friends stepped in to help.

We are once again humbled and reminded of the fact that God uses us all where we are, whether in life or location, to be a blessing to others in our service to them. We are here learning Spanish in order to be a blessing to others in the name of Christ, and these men were there, behind the scenes, serving us so that we could be here to serve. What a great picture of the body of Christ.

Thank you, Tim, Bob, Joe, Louis, Paul, and Dee. Tim, thank you for coming when you don't even know us! Dee, I'm glad we gave you lots of laughs yesterday about all the stuff we took with us and all the stuff we left behind. Bob, thank you for organizing the entire effort. Joe, Louis, and Paul, we're honored to call you guys "friends." You all are a great testimony in our walks with Christ of quiet service behind the scenes.

Steaks on us in November! : )


All of the cars and trucks lined up outside of our house.
