Blessed

Philippians 2:1-5

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, or as one of my good friends put it, Single Awareness Day for all of us out there who are not in a courtship/relationship, engaged, or married. However for the ladies of Drexel Cru, yesterday served not to remind us of our relationship status, but rather of Christ’s love for us.

Last night, the gentlemen took time out of their schedules to honor and celebrate the friendships that they share with the ladies here at Drexel. Much time was spent in preparing a wonderful meal, complete with a selection of delicious desserts. During dinner, we were entertained with the artistic talents of some of our gentlemen – through songs and a poem. All in all, we were encouraged to continue pursuing Christ whole-heartedly and to strive to attain the characteristics of the godly woman portrayed in Proverbs 31.

I wanted to use this opportunity to thank all of the gentlemen who played a role in serving us last night. All of the ladies who attended the dinner were blessed by the time, effort, planning, and preparation that went into making last night what it was. Moreover, we are blessed since these friendships exist and have meaning because of Christ. I would like to thank you for your leadership, your example in serving and caring, and most of all, for the way that each of you demonstrates Christ’s love.
