A Response to If My People ~~~

I really should ask other members of the quartet to write an occasional blog. After I sent the one out yesterday about the church service in Vero Beach last Sunday, Beverly wrote a nice note back to me and said I could use it if I wanted. So . . . I want.

Here is what she wrote:

"In response to Steve’s mentioning in his blog that we attended the church service last Sunday morning where he was preaching, I just want to say it is a pleasure to be able to join in the personal happenings and share in the lives of each member of the quartet outside the realms of the quartet. We spend many hours on the bus together and share the gospel in song during concerts, and have become family in many ways, but we never truly know what the lives of the others consist of past the steps of the bus that transports us down the road to the next concert. We laugh together and share verbally what has happened in our lives in the past week and sometimes even shed tears because of bad times. But we really haven’t shared totally until we step outside the boundaries of the umbrella of our ministry and walk next to our quartet members in their daily lives, and that’s what we have had the honor to do.

Steve, as in concert and on the bus during trips to different churches, literally overflows with excitement when talking, and singing, about the Lord and what God has done for us and what He would love to do in our lives. What we as members of the Trust ministry share are only an ‘itsy bitty bit’ of happiness compared to what giving our life to God can bring each moment. It’s awesome to know that God is standing by just waiting for each of us to surrender ourselves to Him in total abandonment from our everyday responsibility and invite Him into our lives so that unlike sharing bits and pieces of our time with family and friends, we may share with Him one-hundred percent of the time forever and ever.

Thanks Steve for sharing an itsy bitty bit of your life with us last Sunday Morning."

 

Beverly, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice response. I do appreciate it.
