“…Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
An incredibly long and complex story made extremely simplistic and short: When I coached high school, I had an athlete who passed away suddenly from a heart attack. At his memorial service, there were over 500 high school students in attendance (he was arguably the most popular kid in school). He was known for many things but one remembrance that was echoed during his life and after his death was that during lunch, when high school kids sat at tables with their "friend group", he would do two things: he would go sit with the "awkward" or "lonely" or "outcast" kids and eat lunch with them and then he would go outside to a quiet corner of the campus and read his Bible. Some people live short lives but meaningful lives.
Lord, help me to realize what matters most and then act on it.
