“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ ‘The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
– Matthew 25:37-40
Jesus exemplifies His point again with one final last parable. He says, in the end of days the sheep and the goats will all be mixed together in one herd. But then I’m going to sift them out into two groups – the sheep on one side, and the goats on the other, and I’m going to say to the sheep enter into my Kingdom because when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink, when I was hungry you gave me something to eat, when I was naked you clothed me, when I was sick you cared for me, when I was in prison you visited me. And they’ll say wait, what. When did we do that to you? And He’ll respond when you did it to whom? The least of these you did it for me. |

That is easy for me to do . Whether I’m a minister of the word or distributor of communion . I feed the people who are hungry for nourishment either by hearing the holy scriptures and also through the reception of the Holy Eucharist . I also serve others by singing whether it’s in a choir or doing karaoke . May God bless your ministry . As always I remain a faithful follower of the Hour of Power and a Happy and Wholesome Student of Jesus Christ
I can help those who are going through a loss of a spouse like I am give them understanding and compassion as people have given me in the days and months since my husband has passed. And I can be grateful for the people who have helped me and are still helping me everyday and my struggles to be a whole person again.
