Life is exciting and rewarding, full of challenge and
frustration. Yet suddenly more than half is gone and we have done so
little. So we recognize that we are not called to save the world.
Christ has done that. But we are called to be faithful. Peter J.
Dyck has spent most of his life with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC),
a church service agency. He fines Christian service as living for
others, in any role that truly benefits others, whether at home or
abroad. In these meditations for all ages, Dyck shares stories,
insights from his wealth of experience, helping refugees, building
peace, and challenging audiences. He especially promotes
intergenerational family life. P>Will all our efforts, he says, we
eventually learn that our greatest satisfaction comes from
relationships with other people. We often fail and need forgiveness.
With Paul, we confess that we see only "in a mirror, dimly," and "know
only in part." We look forward to knowing fully, when we see our Lord
"face to face." Meanwhile, the greatest grace is love. Copyright September 2000. | |
