A friend at my Church gave me a hand made cross. I have hung it on the wall by my computer in the office. It serves as a reminder of the real source of our blessings and the example Jesus has set for our lives. He also gave me a message about all the words spoken in Gods name and think of that when looking at this cross. That however is not what it represents to me. When I look at the cross I see a simple but beautiful cross. One that represents the gift of woodworking at his hands, the examples of all the people in our church that have made this world better, and the challenge we have to be more like Jesus.
You see I have been lucky to have so many examples of what a christian is that mere words are pale in comparison. I am glad that that cross has a place in my life. Let us all remember this Easter season of all that Jesus has given us and what all Christians have done before us. Then we will understand how to be an example for all that will follow.
It is the compassion for our fellow man that we have learned from them that grows in us to work with FRB and many others. We hope that our examples bear the same fruit that grows inside us as faith. Most of all we hope for a better world to live in, Jesus died for our sins on that cross, but lives within us. Let us remember to be an example of his love.
Serving together, Dean Lundeen
