Here I Am, Lord
Posted: May 27, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentWhile at church today we sang one of my favorite Hymns, Here I Am, Lord. Part of the last stanza goes like this:
I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them. Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord.
While singing this my eyes welled up with tears, and it was not because I could hear the pitiful sound of my own singing voice, but because I was overwhelmed by the thought of all of you generous friends who have made pledges of support.
You are the people tending the poor and lame, which while not a politically correct description, it is accurate of many hungry people who depend on the Food Bank.
Feeding someone is one of the most loving acts humans can do. And I appreciate your selfishness in doing it.
You are not just giving to me, you are giving to the world through this campaign. Here You are!
