Day 14: Mark 10:45

Mark 10:45 – For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Relationships

Several years ago, we had the opportunity to start a building project down on the creek by what would become Methodist Park, Killeen. We were a group of men that just got together to work. Some had carpentry skills. Some had welding skills. Some had no building skills at all!

There was one man who had a special gift. He had the gift of inspiring those around him to serve. You could see the joy of the Lord in his eyes. He was battling cancer. When he would come to the park, his attitude and genuine love for his fellow man made each of us a better person. His talent was truly bringing us together in service to our Lord. His faith was such an inspiration. This man lost his battle with cancer, but his legacy lives on not just in the park, but in the hearts of each man he led while building this project.

The relationships between the men who build Methodist Park continue to grow because of the impact of Chet Frisch.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of Chet Frisch. Just as when Your Son was on this Earth for a short while, he guided us to become better individuals. Chet continues to live on in our hearts. While we may lose earthly friends, they have made a difference in our lives. We thank You for the gift of humble servants that teach us to be better Christians who live for the Lord and have gone on to their eternal homes with You. Amen.
