There was a guy that I used to know and work with from Ohio named Ray Jones. No matter what you said or did or what he said or did, he would just say, "I just want to be a blessing."
It was cliche, it was funny, it was a joke... but he was serious. Kind of. I think he just wanted to be a pleasure to be around.
Well, 10 years later - Ray lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And he has been here with our family pretty much non-stop. He's never said out loud ,"I just want to be a blessing." BUT He IS A BLESSING.
He also happens to be a doctor here - PERFECT. He doesn't interfere, is super respectful of our family - but he is here for anything we need. And just here for us if we don't need anything.
Then there is my friend's Mike and Katie. Erica and I were at their house when I got the call. Keep in mind they have a 2 week old baby and he's cooking us dinner at the time... Whatever we needed! He was about to drive me up here! He was about to give me 100,000 sky miles! Are you kidding?! You run a business, have a 2 week old baby and you would drive me 14 hours north through the night?!
Are these people angels? No. They are not. They are people who understand friendship, fellowship and serving a living God who can do GREAT things through them (like being a blessing).
