Emergency Room Fellowship



February 19, 2011 � by Dennis Fisher



Read: Galatians 6:1-10



Bear one another�s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. �Galatians 6:2



Not long ago, my wife, Janet, and I accepted an invitation to dine with a Christian woman who attends our Sunday school class. In her zeal to prepare a meal for us, she cut her index finger deeply. As we drove her to the emergency room, we prayed for her, and then we kept her company in the waiting room. Several hours later, our friend finally saw the doctor.



After we returned to her home, our hostess insisted we stay for the meal she had prepared. What followed was a great time of lively conversation and spiritual fellowship. While we ate, she shared with us some of the heartaches she had suffered, and how through the ups and downs she had found God�s wonderful grace invading her life.



Later, my wife and I reflected on the unexpected trip to the hospital and the shared fellowship that had resulted. This verse came to mind: �Bear one another�s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ� (Gal. 6:2). By providing support for our injured hostess, she was blessed. Then afterward, she became a blessing to us through her hospitality and a delicious meal.



In retrospect, painful experiences can be a marvelous gateway to rich fellowship as we �bear one another�s burdens.�



Beautiful lives are those that bear

For other lives their burden of care;

Beautiful souls are those that show

The Spirit of Christ wherever they go. �Abbott



A helping hand can lighten another�s burden.

I read this, too. And thought of those who had shared burdens with me.

Thanks for sharing this uplifting devotion, Steve.
