Incarnation - Kristi

Galatians 6:2 (NASB77)
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.


A little over two years ago, I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my right leg. It was a terribly excruciating ordeal. For weeks I barely got out of bed and had to use a walker to get from my room to the bathroom which is literally five feet away. There were several days I did not get out of bed. I slept much and ate little. I relied heavily on my dad to care for me during those days.


However, there was another person who cared for me during those days. Her name is Kristi Germack. Those of you who know Kristi know that she is a character and that is an understatement. She would call and check on me and make sure I had everything I needed. Not only that, she would listen to me complain a great deal about being unable to get around among other things. It wasn't that others did not check on me, but it was consistent and almost daily with her. This meant a great deal to me. I have been in difficult situations before where my church family rarely checked on us. To have someone do it consistently and readily was a great blessing.


Through Kristi, I saw God's care and concern for others. She helped me bear that burden, and in doing so, Kristi became an incarnation of Jesus in my life. I am not sure if I have ever told her, but I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to a dear friend.
