“A WISE MAN!”
James 3:13
“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.”

In the eyes of the world he may not have seemed wise, but to my mind and according to today’s Scripture, Ben was a wise man. Ben was an immigrant to this country from a European bloc nation. He spoke with a gravelly voice in an accent that was thick with his native tongue. But above everything else he loved the Lord.

Not only did Ben love the Lord, but he expressed it by the way he served Jesus. He did not teach a Bible class, but he lived his life according to the word of God. I can still recall watching him mow the lawn around the church on a hot summer day.

One day when I saw Ben mowing, I stopped to talk with him. I thought the church paid him for doing outside maintenance, but he did it because he saw a need. In my conversation with Ben I discovered that he also mowed lawns for several widows in the church who were unable to do it themselves and could not afford lawn care.

Ben was a wise man! His works for the Lord were done with meekness and love. I wish he was still alive today. I would enjoy a long visit with him. It will have to wait for eternity, but he is one WISE MAN I want to see again.

Blessings dear hearts!  
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
