If you read the church e-news, bulletin or "The Wire" newsletter, you are invited to consider being involved in a bunch of ministries. Ronald McDonald House, Hillcrest, Adopt a child, Dental for Kids, Operation Smile, Sack Lunches, food pantry, clothes closet, and on we go from there.
They are all good. But, you can't be involved in all of them and, no one expects you to be. You can't attend everything, you can't give to everything. It is ok. You are not expected to participate in everything.
You are loved. Whether you participate in many programs at the church, or just a few, you are loved. Pray about what you might be involved in or what you might give to. Then participate in those things and don't worry about the rest. It was never intended that you be involved in everything. In fact, if we limited the number of ministries at the church so that I could be in all of them, there would be many fewer things going on and many fewer people being helped in the name of Jesus.
So, you are loved. Relax. Fit in where you can and don't worry about the rest. It's all good.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Whew!!!!! What a relief!!! There are so many wonderful things going on a WCC that it is hard to choose, but thanks for reminding us we are not expected to do all!!
I just heard on the radio yesterday that it's important to understand that we can't do everything...but to pick a few things and do them well. Along those very lines, I've selected what I can do. My motivation came from the concept that doing something is better than doing nothing at all!
What a wonderful message...thanks for the reminder. :-)
