Living by faith is always an experience, and part of the awe of it is simply the fact that you, and others like you, give to us. Even after about 50 years of this, it does not get old. It is a bit like “the mercies of the Lord are new every morning” but this one is “the generosity of the saints never ceases to amaze us”! We do thank you for your recent gift.
This past week I was in central Mexico—Rachel came along with me for some sweet father/daughter togetherness. I spoke at a missions conference, this was my first trip south since before the pandemic.
The next statement matters not at all: It felt good!
It matters not because we do what we do, not because we like to do it, or because it is fun, or because it makes us feel good. We do what we do simply to obey God.
But, I'll admit, after a year of mostly teaching/speaking/preaching to the camera, seeing human beings in the audience was sweet. Human beings laugh at my jokes, cameras just give me the old one-eye stare!
