The Greeters' Ministry

The Smiley Face - This is the icon for the Greeters' Ministry in my church. It is the new ministry in our church. I'm so proud of my parents for joining the ministry. Considering their age and busy schedules, they still made the effort to join the ministry. They have to report about an hour before the service and stand at the entrance of the hall to greet people attending the service and help them to get a seat. Difference between the Greeters' ministry and the usher ministry? Hmmm....I don't really know yet, but its something like helping people who have difficulty getting thru to ushers to get a seat or also to ensure people new to our church get a seat.


Whatever it is, i'm so happy and proud of my parents. At the same time, feeling like i am being put to shame. That i'm not in any ministry but they are. Seeing how their lives have changed since they received Christ has been the greatest miracle i've wittnessed. They are much more loving as a couple, more encouraging and understanding as parents, more youthful and energised in everything they do, more positive in their outlook, more joyful than before, greater financial blessings than before.....and the list goes on. Indeed, as Rom 8:28 says:

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

My parents' lives are such powerful testimonies of how wonderful God is. I'm reminded once again that I should never run away from God, but to run towards God.
