Look Up and Look Around

In a moment I look up

   and look around

   to see people busy with

   the good work of the church.

I look up and I look around and see

   George Kissick planning the 185th anniversary

   Jeff Miller and the Tech Committee installing

      new headsets for the ministers.

   Eric Horine with his beautiful interpretation of

      "It Is Well."

I look up and look around and see

   Ruth Miller leading a prayer group

   Paula Marcum moderating the Board

   Linda McFarland leading the deacons.

I look up and look around and see

   Jim Haag making a holder for the prayer candles

   Angelino manicuring our lawn

   Frances Feeback loving her flower garden.

I look up and look around and I see

   Cathy Caldwell sending cards of encouragement

   Jane Leer shepherding the clothing closet

   Carolyn Barlow serving Operation Food Basket.

I look up and look around and I see

   Margaret Honaker managing the scholarship fund

   Ashley Norris teaching Sunday School

   Travis Cook singing at Bourbon Heights

I look up and I look around and I see

   Our youth doing mission

   Our senior men meeting for breakfast

   Four elders honored for a combined 200 years of

      service to the church.

I invite you to look up and look around wherever

   you are to appreciate the vast and detailed gifts

   people are using to bless your world.

Moving to the deeper places,

Jeff
