Our word for today: Strange
Reading: Exodus 3:3, Proverbs 23:33, Matthew 9:10-11, Genesis 11:9, Matthew 25:31-46
Exodus 3:3 So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn up."
Proverbs 23:33 Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
Matthew 9:10-11 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthews house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
Genesis 11:9 That is why it was called Babel-because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Matthew 25:31-46The
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

| getting ready to get on the bus |
We made our first flight out of Lima to Houston. Once we were in Houston though, it was storming and we had to just sit on the plane until we could get out.Which made us miss our flight home. We were supposed to be home by 10:30 in the morning that Sunday. So they gave us new tickets but only had 10 minutes to get to our gate so guess what, we missed that one too. Long story short, the group had to split up. Andrea, Riley, Zack, Abbie, Tiffiany and I got to go on the first flight out and arrive at 4:30. Adley (who is Andrea's daughter) Krisi (who is Riley's mom), Mandy, Jonna, Roberta had to wait and fly out to denver and then catch a flight to wichita. They were expected to arrive at 12:30 am. but they ended up missing their flight to wichita from Denver. Agh. But everything was in God's hands and they ended up meeting another person who does missionary work.
When I arrived home, Chris, Nick and Olivia were walking towards me. Chris put Olivia down and she had this look on her face like "is it really you, I thought I'd never see you again" So she ran up to me looked at me and then hugged Chris, Nick seemed really nervous, he was talking non stop like he does when he gets nervous! Love them so much! Also, Marolyn Collie and Cathy Smart were there to greet us as well as the rest of the families.
We went to McDonald's for dinner.
