As one enters into each day there are many choices to make. Such as, go to the office, go to the bank, get up out of bed, pray, worship, eat, go back to sleep, pay bills, study, fix the car, mow the lawn, call a friend, be a friend, write a letter, read a book and many more….

The one choice that I like to make each day is to be a good Samaritan in some way and “lean” into someones life and make a different through a compassionate action. I have found through my many years of helping people that touching a life will make a difference in that person and others who witness the care I share. I never do anything for people to say…”look at what he did…” I do it because I just cannot walk by.

I am so glad that Jesus did not walk by me even though there were many times that I walked by Him. I am sure that there have been countless people walk by me and never cared to reach into my life and share the love of Christ. The uniqueness of a relationship with Christ is that you become like Him if you spend time with Him in prayer. I know that because of the incredible sense of compassion I have for mankind and the future of our social culture in this world.

So each day I just want to find someone lying there, left for dead, and lift them up to bring them to the “inn” where they can find comfort and rest. Of all choices, this is the one that I choose first. Try “leaning” into a life and see how Jesus will bring healing and joy to their weary and pained soul.

   Oh, Dennis - you certainly have helped a lot of lives. Thank you for the choices you have made.

   Many, many years ago, I had the realization (through reading scripture) that the one BIG thing that God has given us humans is the function and ability of choice. What a wonderful realization that was for me!! I started with, and have practiced ever since, making my first choice every morning to choose to smile. God loves us - we have every reason to smile, but how many people do you know who don’t choose to do so (especially first thing in the morning)!

   Thanks, Dennis. We love you! (Go ahead - eat that 19 grams of fat!)
   Any baby news yet?

   Love you, Donnie
