For All The Saints

Who are the saints who have made a difference in your faith life?  Who are the people who have pointed you toward a life of following Christ?


As we remember the saints who have died in the faith this All Saints weekend, we do well to remember the saints who are still with us today.  God has placed people in our lives who encourage us, who challenge us and who pray for us.  Sometimes we don't even know that is what they are doing.


I would not be the man I am today without the saints in my life.  One of the main attributes my saints share is the willingness to show where they are weak and how they rely on God in their weakness.  Saints are not perfect.  In fact, true saints are more than willing to share their brokenness.


The next question we do well to ask is, "Who am I a saint to today?"  Whether you know it or not, there is someone paying attention to how you live and what you say.  You can be a saint to them.


There are saints that I miss and saints that I see daily.  I give God thanks for all the saints in my life.
