Tonight I was able to experience something different in ministry - I was able to visit another church's program. I received an invitation from some guest visiting our church to see a reenactment of the Lord's Supper. For an 1 1/2 hours I was able to be ministered to rather than ministering to others. I was not responsible for any part of the program, nor did anybody know I was minister. I simply had an opportunity to experience a blessing through another's ministry.
As ministers we have the occupational hazard of doing the ministry rather than being ministered to. We can give and give, until teh tanks are empty, when that happenes we can find ourselves in need of refueling. Tonight I was refueled! When I left the church tonight I came away with a sense, I need more opportunities like tonight, so If I pop up in your church please remember I am checking in for a fill up, and thank you for ministering to me.
