I had something wonderful happen at a meeting a couple of weeks ago and my
husband thought I should post it. . .
It was a regular SA meeting, but we had a boy present who is undisciplined,
unchurched, rough, likes to wrestle, hit and knock furniture around. His
name is Micah.
I tried and tried with Micah to get him to be still pay attention show him we
were going to have fun. Didn't work.
Finally I got frustrated. I gave up. Several boy including Micah had
brought snacks that night. So I told Micah, you are going to learn to be a
servant. So by himself he served each boy one serving of everything one at a
time as I prepared them.
After everyone was served I asked the other boys while Micah was still
standing "Boys what do we say to Micah for serving us?"
A big chorus of Thank yous went up. Then best of all and I know it was God
cause I did not tell the boys they one by one got up and gave Micah hugs. He
was so happy.
So I asked Micah who got the bigger blessing? He just grinned.
Last night we only had popcorn for snack and as it was popping Micah come up
and asked me Chief Flaming Hair? Can I be the servant tonight?
I was so thrilled by the change in his attitude. He's still a little active
but he sat mostly in his seat. He kept quiet when he was supposed to and
asked our guest speaker questions.
Micah and I now have a bond which I hope to build with God's foundation in
place.
PS
Now all the other boys want to be servants too.
Chief Flaming Hair aka Kelly Gist
I hope this blesses everyone as it has blessed me.
