Jonah

Jonah went with me yesterday to the Soup Kitchen to help serve. Back in Gillette I had taken him one time to the soup kitchen and he hadn't stopped asking to go back since. Two weeks ago he asked if he could go with me here. He said "Dad, do you know what I like most about the soup kitchen?" Thinking he would say something totally different he said "Serving people." I immediately asked "What do we serve them." I of course expected him to spout out "Food." Instead he said something that made my heart leap. I don't know if he knew what he was saying but he, without hesitating said "Jesus!". He did AWESOME at the soup kitchen. He was in charge of serving the bread that was made. I really believe that little guy was serving Jesus yesterday. He ate lunch there, an ok ham and beans mixture in a bowl without complaining one bit. If you know Jonah you know he can be a hand full (or two hands full), but if you know Jonah you also know he can be one of the most tenderhearted and caring little boys there is. "We serve them Jesus." I hope we remember that every time we serve.

Following Christ,

Jeff
