Chocolate Invasion: Loving Irvington!
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward –Matthew 10:42
Late last night I couldn’t sleep. I had an Elvis song stuck in my head. Playing on repeat. Not a great start to an otherwise wonderful night’s sleep. The song went something like this, “A little less conversation a little more action…” Blah, Blah, Blah, I don’t remember the rest of the words. Sorry. Please forgive my voice, but you know what I’m talking about. Hope it doesn’t keep you up tonight.
Or maybe I do.
Not because it’s a spectacular, well put together song, but because we need a lot less conversation and a whole lot more action. Not action done for the sake of acting or for the sake of simply doing the right thing, but action done for the sake of loving people because we are called to passionately and compassionately love them. The type of loving that has very little to do with us and everything to do with the simple act of just loving. I tend to get caught up in the planning to love people and not in the going out and actually loving people. I have a feeling I’m probably not alone. Charles Lee of the !Deacamp has some inspiring words to say about acting in love and some great reasons why we, especially the church, should.
In light of being more actionable, here’s a video of a church that believes loving through our actions can be (and actually is) as simple as handing out a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter morning. Jesus said that was enough. I tend to agree. So, I joined them. And so did Steven Shattuck of CMC MediaGroup in order to capture the adventure. Enjoy. Then go and love.
