WE ARE THE LORD'S HANDS AND FEET



#1


“Get away, infidel. Don’t touch me. I spit on you!

“Sir, please be still while I try to stop the bleeding.”

“With what…your fancy white scarf that must have cost a fortune?”

Quietly, “Yes”

“But I hate you.”

“Well, I don’t hate you. Here, sip this cool water and rest.”

(50 words)

#2 [True]

The dirty, barefoot man stumbled into Pastor Bob’s office that cold morning and fell into the empty chair. He was crying.

“May I help you?”

“I’m hungry and I need a job.

Bob took off his shoes and gave them to the stranger -- then led him to the food supply.

#3

She barely made it up the steps of the overloaded bus. Labor had begun. She grabbed the pole to try to hang on for the few blocks to the hospital.

Danny’s 8-year old eyes filled with tears as he struggled to stand with two crutches.

“Please…”he whispered, “Take my place.”

(50 words)

#4

Leslie stood at the window and watched the tail lights of the big moving van disappear into the grayness of the pouring rain. As she turned from the lonely sight, the doorbell rang.

“Welcome, neighbor.”

A dumpy little figure in a yellow raincoat clutched a basket of delicious smelling goodies.

#5

“Good afternoon, Ma’am. The two of us would like to give you some vital information and perhaps chat for a few minutes.”

Joyce recognized the sincere, though misguided spiel, but was gracious to the strangers.

“Please come in. I promise to listen to you, if you will return the favor.”

These leave me speechless, Linda, truly masterful for the project. I too choose the dumpy little neighbor with welcome batch of goodies. Oh, so lovely!

My favorites are 3 and 4, but especially the one about the 8 year old boy. Priceless. Great job.

I especially liked the 3rd & 4th ones. So descriptive, all of them, I could really see them!

Plot in 50 words? You did it excellently. The lady with the goodies was my favorite, but I liked them all.

Linda, your stories hold great, yet tender, truths. That last one reminds me of a time such a scene happened in my life.

I enjoyed them!

Linda, these were beautiful. You brought a few quick (no time for more) tears to my eyes with a few of them--the first in particular. But that last one brought a smile to my face. The true story about Pastor Bob was very moving and challenging. Just goes to show you don't need loads of words to make a point. Well done! Love, Deb

Way to go Linda! Five mini-sermons that touch the heart! I don't know how you did it - but you did!
