Showing God's Love

You don’t have to be a priest or a pastor in order to show God’s love.  In fact, the word “minister” means “servant.”  Those who graciously serve others are therefore God’s ministers.

Dwight Miller had been a school-bus driver for children with special needs.  He worked this wheelchair route for 17 years.  During that time, he had a knack for making children and their parents feel cared for and comfortable.

Miller would decorate his bus on holidays and mentor kids from the driver’s seat.  He would invite parents along on the dry run that occurred before the school year officially began.

Miller also volunteered at Big Brothers Big Sisters and Friendship Ministries.  He explained:  God has been part of my life…  He cares about me, and I need to show that to others.
