Are You an Angel?

A Story to Share By: JEAN CORBETT

In 1985 I was St. John’s parish secretary. On the way to work one morning I saw an elderly couple walking along Maybank Hwy carrying rod and reels and a bucket going toward church creek bridge.  I stopped and offered them a ride. They accepted and said they were going fishing off the bridge. I stopped at the bridge. They got out with their fishing gear. The man asked me to wait while he helped the woman set up. He asked me to take him to a housing project.

Upon arrival he thanked me and asked, “Are you an Angel?” I smiled and responded that I was happy to help.

So - we don’t know if and when we might be viewed as God’s holy angels. 

The back story of the couple (unrelated to each other) is sweet.

The man lived in a trailer park a good distance from the Creek. The woman lived further away and would spend the previous night in his home to be closer to the bridge. That was their pattern. He would walk her to the bridge and walk back home then later return to the bridge at a set time to help her with the gear. So sweet. The bridge was about a mile distance from his home. 

I thought people might like reading this. I looked for them but never saw them again.

Blessings,

A MESSAGE FROM C.A.R.E.

I believe we are called to the ministry of C.A.R.E. to minister not from the presence of Jesus Christ in our heart but from the overflow of Christ’s love that spills out of our heart when the Holy Spirit moves in. Like a cup of liquid when it is filled to capacity and weight is added to it, the weight displaces the water and the water pushes up and spills out in all directions to seek its lowest point of least resistance. Isn’t this what happens in the overflow of Christ’s love in us through the added power and weight of the Holy Spirit? Doesn’t ministry typically occur when the Holy Spirit pushes our love for Jesus up and outside ourselves for the CARE, prayer and blessing of others.

In the two scripture references below, God calls us to C.A.R.E. for our brothers and sisters in Christ in two ways:

1 John 3:18 - Let us love, not in word or speech, but in TRUTH AND ACTION.

1 Chronicles 16:24 - DECLARE His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!

If you feel empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit to use your gifts and talents to bless others in our St. Michael’s Church Family through the overflow of love in your heart for Jesus Christ, please call the church office at 843-723-0603 or
