Recently I was asked by a student at graduation if I would attend his ordination service the next day in another town.  I thought about the pressure of the weekend and wanted to just stay at home but I agreed to attend.  When my wife and I walked in the church we were escorted to the front and when it came time for the ordination service I was asked to pray the prayer of ordination.  What an opportunity to impact this life. 

After my wife and I returned home I received a picture and a hand written note that went like this; “The church body was moved by your attendance and interaction.  My parents were touched that you guys came out to support a student.  It meant a lot to them and it meant the world to me.”

Can you imagine the blessing that this message had for me and my wife?  If we had not gone we would have missed this wonderful opportunity to impact people that we didn’t even know.  I will always try to take every opportunity to impact the lives of people no matter how tired I might be.  The Lord is good all the time and uses His children to bless others.
