Once upon a time there were four men named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. But Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anyone could have done it. But Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about it, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, and nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody and Nobody did the job that Anybody could have done in the first place.
Nobody is still alive and well in the Lord’s church. When the elder’s plead for someone to teach bible class, Nobody is the most likely one to respond. When clean-up day rolls around, Nobody reports for duty. When there is a need to provide a meal for a visiting preacher, Nobody is first in line. How refreshing it must be for God to hear Somebody say, “Here am I send me”. Source unknown
Not long ago I did a series on being involved. You as young people need to be involved also. There is always work to be done and there is so many things that we can do. We need to be involved more.
In just a month we will be starting 2006 a new year our goal should be to get involved. We also will be losing 3 young people to Graduation Angie, Tara, Leslie. Which means we need more young people. Start inviting your friends to church. Lets make things happen.
When you hear the summons to duty, don’t avoid the opportunity or Nobody will end up doing it. Instead of a Nobody , be the Somebody who is willing to respond.
