The need that are hard to see

In an earlier blog I mentioned a former student had donated a guitar to our church specifically for me to take down to Mexico. I gave the guitar to the Mikruts, the missionary family we donated the van to. I told them to find a pastor in need and give it to that person. Aaron, my former student, did an amazing job of resurrection. The guitar had a pretty amazing sound and action for what the guitar had been subjected to by its previous owner.

I got a note back not more than a week later. They told me that they had given it to Julio. Julio has a passion for the ministry and an amazing humility. Both Jim and Barb Mikrut have known Julio for a number of years and had no idea that he was borrowing the guitar he was using in his church. In giving him the guitar, not only does he get a guitar that will receive a lot of use, it is also connected to fond memories of our time together. 

It is continual reminder that we don't do life alone, and not all needs are immediately visible.
