A HANDFUL
Today's reading:  Luke 5-6

"Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat..."  Luke 5:18 NLT

Well, I've been convicted.

My heart's been pricked by the fact that as busy as I am, I'm not sure I have a handhold on the corner of anyone's mat.

I rush around doing my stuff.

I busy myself with my things.

I fill the hours, today's and sometimes tomorrow's, with issues that pertain to me.

But whose mat am I helping with?  Whose life am I toting towards Jesus?

These men took time out of their busy schedules to help a friend.  They put forth some effort to bring Him to Jesus.  They pushed aside some of their own chores, tasks, to-do lists and hobbies, in order to help a brother.  They left some things undone at home.  They donated their free time to someone other than themselves.

And what do I do?
