A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada

A Refreshing Encounter

Episode Summary

Those you help will be refreshed and you will be blessed too!

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Because of my disability, when I travel, I often fly business class. But once, I had to book a flight that only had first class seats. We had arranged it so that one of my helping friends would sit by me, while the other would sit in coach. Well, just as my friend, Rainey, was getting ready to take her seat in coach, a first-class passenger sitting across the aisle pulled Rainey aside and said: “Here, you take my seat.” Oh, my goodness, this man—this stranger—gave up his expensive, first-class seat, all so that my friend could help me feel more comfortable through the flight! I don’t know if he was a Christian, but Proverbs 11 says, “… he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Friend, there are countless ways you can refresh the hearts of others. So, keep your eyes open today! The Bible promises, those you help will be refreshed and you will be blessed too!
