Without Vision, The People Perish.
Once upon a time there was a little church that had a church family much like the one in your home. There was the optimists, the pessimists, the workers, the talkers, the organizers, the musical ones and the musically challenged, the leaders, and the followers. All of them together making a 'family'. One day the 'father' felt that the heavenly Father was calling them far away and he left. In his place there came another 'father' for the family. At first the new 'father' of the family felt that he could not do anything with the family. The 'father' saw that there were things that needed to be changed and tried to show the family what they were doing wrong......often. The family was sad and as they were trying to do the right thing but it was not going well. As the time passed, it was harder and harder to bring the family together. The family was as some families were......arguing and finding fault, trying to tell others what was wrong and how to change what they were doing, feeling frustrated and giving up on making things better, and so on. Yet there were others who were doing better. Its funny how that goes. One day this 'father' of the family had to go away. He was sad but thought that it was time and the family would be ok. In his place there came a temporary 'father' for the family. This 'father' for the family suddenly started right in to unify the family again. He showed them how wonderful it is to be part of our heavenly Father's family. He showed them how they can look for the good, to see how they were all part of one 'body' and grow. He smiled allot and told them how much the heavenly Father loved them and was just waiting to give them His greatest present for them on earth. The people smiled, looked at each other, saw hope, and prayed for their heavenly Father to pour out His blessing.....the Holy Spirit.
And all the people said AMEN
