Every Thursday night I give what may be my most important gift as Director of Recovery Ministries at Cokesbury....I put on a name tag and go outside to get people as they start showing up for dinner. For some of the folks coming, I know that it's a small highlight in the day....for others, well they most likely endure my greeting....but each week I'm there....I hope that our people know this:
That I expect them...
That I love being with them...
That they matter...that they count...that they are valued....
That they are in the right place for encouragement, strength and hope.....
It's a good gift....I plan to give it out for a long time!
