"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40.
Yesterday most of the family attended our parents church in rememberance of our sister, Beth and her birthday. They announced a program, Operation In-As-Much, which is a service program for the church based on the above verse. In thinking about this name I was drawn to the story in the Bible surrounding these verses.
Today is Beth's birthday and in reflecting over the past year I am blessed to remember the many things people have shared with me while walking through this journey with her. Stories have been told of the tender things she did while caring for her patients, while walking the ailes of her church and doing her volunteering at Sydney's school to name a few. None of these things will be noted in the world's history books but her "in-as-much" will be recorded in an eternal book - the book of life. For every patient she tended with kindness, for each child at church she prepared activity bags for and for every effort to help Sydney's school out is being blessed in heaven.
The smallest "in-as-much" that we do will not go unnoticed by God and what we do unto others we do unto Him.
