We have been talking LOTS about serving this week in our home. It seems that somewhere along the way with all of the craziness and business of life, we(I) have forgotten that as Christians we are here to worship, honor, love and serve God all the time in ALL that we do!
I have been getting after my childeren for serving each other with grumbling and complaining. Then I did a little closer inspection of myself and realized.... UGH!! I certainly often serve others in a more cheerful way than I serve my dh and childeren!:( :( So... starting with me and my attitude:) , we are practicing and learning to serve each other, joyfully!! We have been talking about how "Even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give His life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28) Jesus served. We want to serve. We want to give honor and glory to God with all that we say, think, do and are and to remember that we are ultimately serving the Lord!! This means that I, we, must joyfully serve, ESPECIALLY, my family!!!:) I hope that you and yours are serving the Lord joyfully! God bless! And for any of you that may be praying after my previous post, PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!!!!! Thank you!!!! |
