On this past Sunday, which was the first anniversary of the death of Pastor Publio Fajardo, we held services that combined the congregants of our English-speaking and Spanish-speaking congregations.
Our guest speaker, Pastor Aurelio, spoke on Joshua chapter one. We were challenged to consider our own mortality. We were also challenged to seize the opportunity to live lives that, when we are gone, will be spoken of by others as lives of influence.
I'd like to encourage you to read Joshua 1, and maybe we can take time today to remember men and women of influence that have paved the way for us:
A parent;
A Sunday School teacher;
A pastor;
A friend.
Lord, we remember these men and women that You sent into our lives, and we are grateful for their godly influence. Lord, please show us what we should be doing, who we should be reaching, so that when we are gone they will remember what we did, what we said, and who we were. Not for ourselves, not for any accolades, but for them to want to live as we did, to Your glory. Amen.
