Sunday I shared a few thoughts about a couple of my favorite people at Brookhaven. An excerpt follows: Many people wear crosses, but it is their actions that tell us more about their Christianity. Ms. Saidee was an example of that. She always wore a cross necklace. And she always wore her faith in the way she lived her life. She welcomed others into her home, and she was a steady presence in the Recovery ministry for as long as she was able. And there was something different about her that people could sense. People she hardly knew would ask her to pray for them. They could tell she followed Jesus and loved people. The cross she wore was important, because of how she lived her life. And her daughter has followed her example as well. You know, Ms. Claudia works in the Child Development Center. She, too, wears a cross necklace. And she, too, wears her faith in the way she lives her life. Sometimes, when she is helping in the baby room, and she gets to rock the babies, they will reach up and hold her cross. As they do, she sings “Jesus Loves Me” to them, teaching them very early on about the love of Jesus. She also leads chapel at the school. She sings with them, teaches Bible stories and prays with them. Sometimes, when the kids see her in the hall or in the classroom, they will ask her to pray for them.
