If The Shoe Fits, Wear it!

 There's nothing like taking meds that you no longer need. I have been on a regimen of heart medicines since I got out of the hospital last February. But the beta blockers had begun to give me a low heart rate and low blood pressure. My cardiologist's office called today and took me off of two of the heart meds that I have been taking. Thank God for that!

It made me think. I wonder how often we go to church and hear a sermon that is too strong for us or does not apply to us? I know that a pastor must minister to the whole church. We as God's people must eat the fish and spit out the bones. You can only wear the shoe if it fits. And as you get older you find that more often than not, the sermon is for someone else besides you.

I am in a minority; not of race, but of age and experience. I do not expect the focus of our church to be on people like me. I can get by on the crumbs that fall from the table. But sometimes I look around and I wonder, who is he preaching to?

I am grateful to be a part of this church. A small part, but a part nonetheless.
