Update from Living Word Lutheran Church
Closer than a Brother

by Rae Ann Barnett | March 14, 2023 11:23 PM

The Grill Walk was a success! While giving out 500 burgers and chips, I saw Alec and Bentley walking with their arms around each other. (These two just met this morning at the Random Acts of Kindness event.)

How exciting it is to make new friends and even more so to watch two young boys running and playing during an event.  These two were bold today and knocked on doors inviting people to enjoy a free meal and telling them about Anthem Church. In the Bible we learn that children are the heritage of the Lord. In Mark, Jesus rebuked those that tried to keep the children from coming near Him. In Matthew, we learn about childlike faith.  Sometimes a lesson from a child is just what we need. 

Watching these two boys today: forming a quick bond, walking arm in arm, laughing, playing, running… it’s hard not to be reminded that there is a friend that is closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24) 

That friend is Jesus and these two boys showed everyone they met today how to find that friend- not just in the church, but through a free burger. 

Pray for the people we shared a meal with today. Pray they find a friend in Jesus.
