The Hands and Feet of Jesus

Hey there,

Thanks again for tuning in to Recovery Blog by Ann Franco! :)

There's an old Audio Adrenaline song that keeps playing in my head, "I wanna be your hands, I wanna be your feet, I'll go where you send me." The body of Christ - what mental picture do we get when we think of His body? I think of the church - all of it. The Methodists, the Baptists, the Pentecostals, the Presbyterians, the Anglicans, the Lutherans, the Catholics and the others who call Jesus their Savior and Jehovah Jireh their God. Some people get all caught up in denomination mumbo jumbo believing their group has a corner on God. I'm fully aware of my many faults, but thankfully this is an area God has disciplined me in and I don't see denominational colors like I used to. I truly see Jesus in His followers and even more so now. I told a friend today that I've had Jesus walk into my home every day since Feb. 28th. Jesus has brought me a basket full of videos, lemon chicken, lasagna, chicken noodle soup, chicken pot pie, cakes, doughnuts, cupcakes, salad, Capri Suns, books, magazines, Chinese food, BBQ, pork chops, mashed potatoes, roast, bible verses, cards, conversation, prayers, money, visits, phone calls, prayers, emails, laughter, gift cards, smiles, and all of this wrapped in a layer of love. This post is my thank you note to all of you. Thank you for showing me Christ when pain made it hard to see. Thank you for taking me to Jesus when the pain meds made it hard to focus. Thank you for reminding me of His sweet face through your laughter. Thank you for showing me the outline of His hand through the food and nourishment you brought to my family. Thank you for loving me and my family JUST the way Jesus would. You are HIS body - you have moved and kept Him alive on this earth. Ahhh ... can you feel Him walking and roaming about looking for someone to bless? I not only feel Him - I see Him. Thank you for the life lesson and thank you for allowing me to see my Lord. It's not every day someone can claim to have SEEN Jesus - today, this is my claim.

Much love!
Ann
