Elder’s Corner: Bitter Sweet

Some things are just bitter/sweet; the passing of a loved one for example; your loss, their life in heaven... or hell. Everything we do can be looked on with different perspectives.
This will be my last elder’s corner because I am moving out of this area. Some of you will be sad and some will be ecstatic.
We post pictures of work being done in the newsletter and online. Some folks look on it as calling attention to ourselves, when in reality we hope to encourage you by helping you realize that the little things you do matter. It’s the whole idea of monkey see, money do.
This is my final note to all of you and it is my wish to encourage you to show God’s love in every part of your life. I am trying to move junk. It has monetary value, but no eternal value. Make sure that the things that consume your life are actually important. Jesus told the Pharisees that the one who has not sinned should throw the first stone (John 8:7). Our motivation needs to bring about healing, not condemnation.

—Tim
