Glad for the givers

I am thankful for people who come to church to give. They're not checking out the decor and the other folks there or mentally tearing apart the pastor's sermon. They're there to be with God and His people. Of course they're still thinking. Of course they recognize some problems. And they try to help where they can, to fix where they're able. They even help out when it isn't something they feel talented or skilled in. They want to love by serving. They take on tasks that aren't fun, clean, recognized. They don't give up when it gets tough. They don't always have to be heard or feel like they have all the answers, if we'd just do things their way.
We may not always acknowledge the greatness of their contribution though with time we become more and more aware of it. We may not realize how incredible a blessing they are. We don't always value what we should. We don't always see. But God does.
