Little Jimmy



We serve food to the needy in the community every month. And yesterday we served for June. Sunday's we share stories about how God revealed Himself to us through these people of whom we served. Isn't it amazing how God surprises us sometimes by showing us His love in such unexpected ways? Take little Jimmy for instance. Jimmy is a 100 mile per hour kid. He has an adorable smile and he likes to be in the center of everything. We have all these people waiting in line to receive food and here is Jimmy befriending all the little kids. But "wait!" He was JUST outside with the little kids and NOW where is he? Right underneath Caroline's feet as she tries to back up with an armful of goods. Minutes later-or is it seconds? Sal is interviewing a family and low and behold, how did this happen? Here is Jimmy sitting between Sal and the father of the family just looking and nodding and of course SMILING! Sal says "Jimmy, honey, you can't be here sweetheart, how did you get here anyway?" And they all laugh. One young mom who says she is raising her 2 year old son all on her own was brought to tears when she was told that she didn't have to do this all on her own. Come to our church and be a part of our family. Getting to know one another and being there during times of need is what it is all about. She agrees but is concerned about bringing her rowdy and rambunctious son to church. "He might be disruptive" she says. Then there was little Jimmy running here and there and this young mom could then see that here is a place where her little boy could fit right in. Thanks little Jimmy for showing people in our community how to be a servant of Christ and showing others just how much Jesus loves the little children!
