” Rick Warren, in
his “The Purpose Driven Life”, uses
and analogy in which he states that the most
important light in his house is not that grand
chandelier hanging in his dinning room, but rather
the small night light in the hall way that keeps
people from stumbling in the dark. What an extraordinary
example of the light that we can reflect as Christians.
Well, what can we do as an individuals? We can
start by learning to interact with everyone with
compassion and love. Second we can change from
having it my way to having it God’s way.
We can become a WWJD person. This is someone
who ask what would Jesus do?
What can we do to share
God's Love in Littlestown through a shared
vision.
By Ken
Thomas
I see a time when we
will have a community center here in Littlestown,
that is Christ centered.
A community center which
has a child care, senior center, and a teen
center that share some common areas where
they interact together and learn to respect
each other. A center that provides ample
opportunities for our teens our children
and our seniors to express who they are and
also provide them with wholesome entertainment.
A center with a shared recreation area. A
Center with a shared refreshment area. A
center with a physical work out area. A center
with an auditorium for creative productions
and for the viewing of films.
A center that provides
a safe area for those who have been abused.
A center that runs a
Library that is of the highest quality and
provides information and help in understanding
who we are, where we have been, and where
we are going.
A Center that is an outlet
for food, clothing or other supplies for
those who are in need in our community.
A center that provides
direction and caring to help those who are
down to get back on their feet. A center
about providing help in finding employment
and self reliance.
A community center that
has a network of people who help the elderly
care for their property and transport them
to stores, doctors, pharmacies, etc. and
in turn will be helped by the knowledge and
experience that every senior has to share.
I see a community center
that maintains and operates a Stephen’s
Ministry to help those who are hurting.
A community center that
sets Littlestown apart from other communities
and reflects the essences of Christ love
for all to see. I see a time when the love
that is becoming part of this community will
flow from here into other parts of the world.
I see a time when all Christian churches
will work together as a body of Christ.
