memorable: pastors always remember their firsts: first baptism, confirmation, etc. we have firsts at each church we pastor;
Matthew 6:19-
Brack is memorable first of all because of his name: Brack;
Matthew 6:
second: His was the first phone call at the parsonage; blazing hot; invitation tot he pool; very thoughtful, compassionate, anticipating a need, love for my family;
never forget the hospitality he showed my family; my kids will never forget the basement full of animals
when I began to dwell on what to say about brack - about God really - the word “generosity” came to mind.
Brack to me was a very generous man.
Introduction - Brack’s hospitality
memorable: pastors always remember their firsts: first baptism, confirmation, etc. we have firsts at each church we pastor;
Brack is memorable first of all because of his name: Brack;
second: His was the first phone call at the parsonage; blazing hot; invitation tot he pool; very thoughtful, compassionate, anticipating a need, love for my family;
never forget the hospitality he showed my family; my kids will never forget the basement full of animals
Another way to define a life is by one’s generosity.
In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus preaches from the plain saying: “Don’t judge, and you won’t’ be judged.
Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Give, and it will be given to you.
A good portion – packed down, firmly shaken, and overflowing – will fall into your lap.
The portion you give will determine the portion you receive in return.”
() One thing I can say about Brack was that he was truly an open, forgiving, and generous soul.
He had his problems – we all do – but at his best and at the very center of his spirit was this deeply, God-inspired generosity.
Brack wanted to give – his resources to help others – his time to invest in everyone he met and tried to assist – his friendships – his family.
Another way to honor his memory is for all of us here today to try and do the same.
Heed these words of Jesus.
Be quick to listen and slow to speak or judge.
And give – give it away – all of it.
You can’t take it with you.
Discover the amazing, limitless grace of God, the great giver, and then become a channel of grace, mercy, and service to your neighbor with God being your helper.
A quiet generosity
a self replicating generosity - go and do likewise
a quiet, humble, but not private generosity
closing - blessed
