Being There

Here's a true saying. "Actions speak louder than words." Consider this ~ What do you remember most: the things people say to you or the things people have done for you?

The most eloquent and challenging sermon pales into insignificance in the light of someone who acts compassionately toward us with God's love.
The best politicial speech is worthless, unless it is back up with affirmative action.
The assurance of a promise means nothing until it is followed through and acted on.
When it comes to the crunch, what matters most is 'being there' and delivering.

Sydney Carter's song lyrics focus on the importance of 'being there' ~ "When I needed a neighbour...when I needed a shelter...when I needed a healer...were you there?"

Be there for someone this week ~ it will speak volumes!
