Humble Servants

Wednesday was an amazingly humbling experience for me. What joy we brought to the live of the residents of Terrace Manor. We did not do anything overly exciting or well planned - we just shared our time and our love with them. I will forever remember one of the residents telling us that she keeps God close to her all the time and that He helps her when she is lonely. How true is that? Even when we are lonely, sad, or frustrated, Jesus is near and we can call on Him.

I look forward to continuing to show Christ's love in our community. We don't serve because it feels good for us or that we get something out of it. We serve because Jesus commands us to take care of the least of thee. He wants serving to not be an act, rather a way of life.

I challenge you this week to serve when other's don't expect it. Offer to clean up your bedroom or to do the dishes when it isn't your turn. If you see someone with small children, hold the door for them. You can serve all the time and often it makes a big difference to the person you are serving. Remember to serve is to live for and like Christ.

Be like Christ this week and help your family, friends and neighbors without being asked or expecting anything in return.

God is great!

Blessings,
