Ambassador

I was changing channels.  On my little TV it was a simple matter.  But my son came over and said it was embarrassing to have his family with so small of a set ...  Now this monster four foot screen fills my TV room!  And changing channels or switching to watch a DVD is just painful!  So, I am trying to work through the channels and a creature fills the screen - as the audio starts I can hear it talking about the need to replace the late Bill Bright's, Four Spiritual Laws!

By creature, I should say this lady is quite old, was wearing a wig very similar to my grandmother's garage sale hunting wig, had a horrible face lift, requiring eye brows to be painted on - in the wrong place!, and the lip job put her into the realm of Jolie!  Eeeeeepah!, my grandmother on steroids! But this in no way detracts from the conversation - it just was an annoyance.

But it reminded me - I have lost so much to amnesia! - about our being ambassadors for the Kingdom of God.

Thanks to WWII and Cold War paranoia, I am a tri-national: German and Swiss by birth, American by US Department of State declaration.  Still had to go through the weirdest naturalization experience ever performed!

Now, I live in the USA, probably will die here.  I am still Swiss, German and US but I do not represent Switzerland, nor Germany, nor even America - to anyone!  I have even been told that I am a horrible German, Swiss and American - by t5hose whom are none of the above.  LOL!!!!!  Yeah, cultural mutt.

However, I am a Christian and like it or not, I do represent God at ALL times!  And I have even been known to fail embarrassingly-horribly-hauntingly! 

Occasionally, I do get it right.

Since the 2014 surgery I have sought to be a better ambassador of Jesus' love - numerous restarts with each and every surgery since.  And I have to admit to meeting numerous interesting people and oddly, even being a comfort to a few in their dwindling days ......

Remember, that as a Christian - like it or not. you are the only face of Jesus most anyone will ever possibly see.
