Service to Others
Manage episode 346959188 series 2415811
I feel best when I am serving others. In recognizing and helping with the needs of other people, it forces me to focus on someone other than me. It prevents me from being self-centered and wanting everything to be perfect in my world. I am blessed with abundance in my life, but it is easy for me to take the bountiful harvest for granted. There are always needs to be met if we are willing to look outside of ourselves.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of helping a sister Episcopal church in Nashville with their Church in the Yard (CitY) service. Every Sunday this downtown church provides an outdoor worship service and then feeds anyone in the area. The Rescue Mission and Room in the Inn for the homeless are just blocks away and people come to worship in the church yard and then stay to eat. The plan is always for worship and food, but today it was too cold for an outdoor worship service. We still served a hot meal of pulled pork, cole slaw, and rolls and everyone got a sack lunch to go. We had 95 people to share lunch with today and it was a blessing for me to be able to participate in this wonderful ministry. We’ll continue to serve on the 2nd Sunday of each month as the weather gets colder and the needs become greater.
Blessings, my friend,
Agatha
