Enjoy Life, Enjoy God
PHOEBE
December 6, 2011
"Fee-Bee." Do you have a "Phoebe" in your life, someone who's helped you over and over, encouraged you, took care of the details that made your life so much better?
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.
--Romans 16:1,2 TNIV
Think of all the people the Apostle Paul knew, and here he picks out Phoebe. He tells the Romans that she has been a helper, a blessing to oodles of people, "including me." He also asserts, take care of her, anything she needs.
Do you have a Phoebe in your life? How can you thank her/him? How can you acknowledge their value in your life? Life is so much better because of the Phoebe's who enrich us.
Joyfully,
Dale Patterson
