It is 6:16 in the morning. Under normal circumstances I am not up this early in the morning. My normal time to get up is 7:00. But today is different. A member of the congregation that I serve is going into the hospital for out patient surgery. And I'm going to take her there.
As I was getting ready to go, I was reminded of something Jesus said. "Whatever you do for the least of these my brothers, you do also for me." Part of being a pastor, but more, part of being a Christian, is to care for people. We show God's love to others by being there for them in good times and in struggling times. How do I demonstrate my care? By getting out of my comfort zone, getting up early, and taking her to the hospital. Speaking of which, I have to go. But I have to stop at Starbucks. I need my coffee. :-)
