Francisco

1 Corinthians 12:21-26
"The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has convinced the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it;if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it."
Francisco was a 41 year old man at Douglas. He had lived there since he was three. for 38 years he never had a visitor. I don't think he was ever diagnosed with anything official but displayed a mental disability. He was also known to have epileptic seizures. Francisco was a quiet man that the Casa Hogar Douglas allowed to keep living there and work on their property. Last night as I came up to Beth to get the details of his passing she was talking to some of her girls. They were shocked by the news and saddened as they all lived at Douglas for sometime. Beth told them that "what the earth threw away, God now is receiving as his own son."
Franciso didn't know his biological family, however CH Douglas became his family. Would you join me in prayer this morning for all at Douglas. They are all hurting. These "body" of believers are suffering the loss of one of their own. How fun it will be to see Francisco with a new mind and body in heaven some day. Thank you.
