Here in Leakey we just received a wonderful gift; we got some much-needed rain yesterday
and last night. As we think about this wonderful gift from God, we also have the opportunity
to reflect on some other gifts that we have received and shared. Most of you participated in
some form with our Vacation Bible School, whether it was through your time, materials, or
just praying for the workers and children. It was the combination of these gifts that made
VBS so wonderful and impactful this year.
In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he talks about spiritual gifts. While his list in Chapter
12 is not every possible spiritual gift, it does contain a good number. But Paul takes it a step
further by saying that not everyone has the same spiritual gifts, but we all need the gifts that
each is given to function as the Body of Christ.
Leakey United Methodist Church is a very gifted community. We have some that are encour-
agers and affirming people, who respond to the spirit’s nudge to confirm the gifts they see in
other’s lives. We have some that are amazing at hospitality; even to the point that our guests
are overwhelmed. We have others who have the personality of invitation and evangelism,
who seek to meet, know, and invite everyone with whom they interact. We have others who
have the heart for caring and compassion, that love nothing more than visiting others and
being a friend. Other’s have a love and passion for music and sing with gusto in worship or
with the choir. This list could keep going infinitely, but I think you get the gist of all the ways
we respond to God’s call and seek to love and serve one another and our community.
We all have gifts, and we all have blind spots or areas where we need the help of others. I
imagine if I were to ask you what your blind spot is most of you could probably tell me. One
of mine is that I am horrible at chasing people down. I would guess it’s a combination of my
introverted-ness and my ADHD, which this just isn’t a gift that I have. So my humble request
is that if you are in need of pastoral support just ask! I would love to come and visit you
when you are sick or hurting, but at the same time, I can’t if I don’t know that you need me.
If you are in need of pastoral care, for any reason, please call my cell phone at 979-575-4426.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Walter

The youth really connected with the music. One person stated, they could see the change take
