Day 16

Acts 20
36And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 there was much weeping on the part of all;And they embraced Paul and kissed him, 38being sorrowful most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again.

Their "father" was leaving them and they may never hear from him again. His last act, his final words, the parting comment needed to to leave a mark on the leaders of the Ephesian church. What could Paul say or give that would cause them never to forget?
Money? Encouragement? How about prayer! He prays for them all! Was this each member individually? Sometimes our best gift isn't the wisdom of our words but its simply our faith.
