Parks here...
I just finished blogging about "those guys" on my personal blog, you can read more here.
In a nutshell, we had a rockin night tonight at Saturate (our young adult gathering) yet the evening had a lot of set up and tear down and I was not looking too forward to the time it would take to do this, but "those guys" jumped in and knocked it out. You each have "those guys" in your churches, those unsung heroes who do what ever it takes to make things happen. They wash dishes, they clean floors, they drive tractors over to run ice cream machines, don't laugh I just did it tonight.
Hero's in the church they are!
I was reminded how God sends those priceless volunteers at just the right time to make things happen. They are so critical to our ministries and I often forget this.
So, tonight as I'm about to crawl into bed, my soul is thankful, thankful for "those guys" who seem to come out of the wood work to pitch in a head to make things happen.
God, thanks for sending "those guys" at just the right moment.
May I slow down my life so I can truly be thankful for the many hands that make our gatherings and environments happen.
May I live with my eyes open to see where I can pitch in
May I lead well, praise often, and know how to thank "those guys"

How true this is. Every week these heroes serve anonymously and we couldn't do it without them. I like serving when I get lots of attention and reward for my contribution, (not to mention I get paid for doing it and they don't)yet these true servants press on usually with no gratitude shown to them. What a great lesson in servanthood we can learn from "those guys." Joel
