The Body of Christ

I am always amazed at how the Holy Spirit works things. Wednesday night, Amelia asked for prayers on Sunday for the family of Pastor David Reimann, who fell asleep in the Lord after a battle with cancer. So we gathered this morning and remembered his family among many others we were praying for.

And who would show up at St. Paul's this Sunday? Pastor Robert Schaibley and his wife, Eunice (nee Reimann). Pastor Reimann was Eunice's younger brother. They were on the way back from the funeral to their home in Colorado Springs. And here they discover their sisters and brothers praying for them. And we didn't even realize we were doing so.

Such is the way of the Body of Christ. We're linked together in so many ways that we can't even begin to fathom it. Marvelous are the works of the Lord, indeed, as we bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
