Very Humbling Experience Tonite

[Steve Epley]

To the shock of my wife and myself after song service tonight a young minister said he had something to say. So I let him up he is a very dependable young man. He said the church was going to have an appreciation service tonite for my wife and myself. They had a meal fixed down stairs to honor our anniversary that will be the 4th but we are leaving tomorrow and won't be back until after the 4th. The saints so graciously testified for over 2 hours saying such nice things about us. We both just wept and wept. I was so humbled and shocked we did not have any idea they were planning this. You hope you make a difference and hope you are a blessing but this was so humbling. I don't handle compliments very well never did. But the Lord has placed such a wonderful group of saints under me I do not want to let them down. All the men came and hugged me and told me how much they appreciated me and the ladies did the same to my wife. It is good to be loved.
