Heart of a Servant
At Downtown church this weekend, the theme was that of servanthood and the local policemen, firemen, and EMT's were honored for their around-the-clock service to the community. David Matthews gave a great lesson on christian service and a video was played whith local members sharing stories of tragedies in their lives and how important the role of a first responder was to them. Oftentimes, relationships are spawned between the responder and those on the recieving end of help. Isn't that true when we decide to reach out to those in need? A neighbor who can't mow their yard because of a terminal illness. A family who just lost everything in a fire. An aging spouse who just lost his/her companion of 40 years. I want to become more aware of the fires of hurt around me and help to put them out. Take the time this week to thank a first responder and let them know how much you appreciate their choice of careers. I will sleep better tonight knowing someone has my back.

I am sorry Jan and I were out of town for this special service.
You have a heart of a servant, and continually wash my feet. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Your brother,
DU

Phew. Finally.
Hello, Keith! Great post. No pigs. No pig skins.
Anyway, I want to be more service oriented too. We were in DC this week and a single mom watched our kids and then fed us dinner -- all because she knew we had a need.
My husband said, "Man, she is so much nicer than we are."

I just had to comment on your comment over at Donna's. I totally see your point of view or angle whatever you want to call it. I have spent a great portion of my life in a stormy state. Some little sprinkles and some real boomers! Admittedly, I have brought many of them on and then wallered in the grief and feeling of unworthiness that follows. I have imprinted in my mind the scene and the words of the song the "Lighthouse" where God is there just beaming us to the shore. It brings me such peace to know that. Thanks for your vision and turn on the subject.
You're scared now, aren't you? Uh huh! Got to thinking about that bank privacy act and you can't come up with another post!
