Neglected

On a prayer drive, we drove past Chaurtsuo Elementary School.  A number of years ago we taught and told Bible stories to the students.  We even took short-term teams there to provide activities for the students.

The school has been transformed into a Waldorf School that teaches both elementary and higher grades.  As a part of the changes occuring on the school campus, a new main entrance was created.  The old entrance, pictured above, is both not needed and not used.  It is out of sight behind the building.  As a result, it has been neglected. One day, someone will organize a work project to clean it up. It will not take care of itself.

Sometimes life can be like that.  We allow something to lapse without caring for it. When we are reminded and are aware that the time has come to deal with the issues, we may feel it is beyond our ability to do what is needed.  Thankfully, God is there with His power, grace and mercy to do the needed cleansing and purifying work.

Please pray for those who are struggling to decide whether to welcome God to do this work in their lives.
