She's 7 - What's Your Problem?

The local Tinley Park edition of the Tribune ran an article today about Parkview’s own little 7 year old Mother Teresa.  Her name is Emiyah Twietmeyer.  She has a heart for ministry to the less fortunate at this young age and came in to talk to Pastor Sean.  Somehow they settled on the idea for her to help the less fortunate by stocking the food pantry. So she went out and distributed fliers in her neighborhood and then collected the food later.  She collected 500 pounds of food for the “Together We Cope” food pantry!

She also put together 20 birthday bags for kids whose parents cannot afford it. Each bag was filled with cake mix, frosting, a cake pan, candles, streamers, a birthday card, a toy, balloons, tablecloth, etc.
 
Here is the article:  Little One Leads the Way
Is that cool or what?
 
Is this what Jesus meant when he said:

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”  He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:1-4  

Yes, as a matter of fact it is.  Greatness is about serving others.  You don’t have to be smart or pretty or popular or rich OR OUT OF SECOND GRADE!  You just have to be willing to take a little time and effort and make a difference.
 
What’s your problem?

You are blessed!
