How the Body SHOULD function

OK, this is a difficult post for me to write when I am the recipient of such mercy and blessing.  It’s easier when I’m the giver!

I’ve been without bedding for the better part of 7 months now.  In July when I moved, it was discovered that the bed I had was infested with mold and mildew…something that could not be cleaned out or salvaged.  The landlord I had at that time didn’t reimburse me, saying that I was “making it all up” and I was out of a bed.  Things being as they have been, I could not get anything to replace that mattress set.

Until today.

A couple in the area is parting out a house that has “like new” furniture in it…showroom furniture probably got more use!  They have a queen-size bed that they are giving me.  This was all set up by my pastor, who was informed of it and then he passed their contact information on to me.  Then, two dear friends of mine, couples both from out of state, both volunteered to send me sheets, pillows, and a comforter.

This is a beautiful illustration of how the Body comes together to meet each other’s needs.  This isn’t about one denomination or another doing something.  This is about believers doing things for other believers.  Such a beautiful thing to see in action, and I am thankful that I am a recipient of such acts.

I would much rather be the giver though…lol
