Psalm 68:5
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God
in his holy habitation.
Andy was a saint. It wasn't enough that he had a wife and a
large family to take care of. He chose to adopt every person he met who was in
need. He befriended a young boy in the neighborhood who had no father, and
spent precious time with him. He sought out the widows and single women on the
block and offered to do whatever they needed done around their houses. He never
took payment for what he did. Instead, he shared a Christ like love and spirit,
and served everyone unselfishly.
The Andy’s of the world are those rare individuals who take
seriously their call to be perfect as God is perfect. They strive to be the
best people they can be, and they do this by exemplifying love and sacrifice.
God gives us the Andy’s to prove that it can be done. We, too, can walk in the
steps of Christ, if we will only give ourselves totally to God. It means
nothing more than giving to God what He has given to us.
Prayer: I want to walk in Your footsteps, Lord. Help me to be
willing to share with others what I have been given. Teach me to use my time,
my talents, my gifts, and my service to show Your glory. Amen.
