My wife and I had the opportunity to serve our church for Mother’s Day yesterday. We were able to prepare a Mother’s Day luncheon for the Mothers and their families to enjoy.

Here is a glimpse of the pork roast we made,

The work that goes into prepping, cooking and serving a meal is exhausting. But with the help of some of the young adults in the church, we were able to serve our church family lunch on Mother’s Day and allow many of the Mothers to sit back, be served and enjoy a meal.

After all was eaten, cleaned and stored up, it was time for a long Sunday afternoon nap!

But as I was contemplating on yesterday’s events, I took joy in the pleasure of serving my church, no matter how tired and ready for a nap I was when it was over.

As I sat and reflected on serving this morning I was reminded of these truths from Scripture.

1. We all are given gifts, talents and treasures by our Creator, who has fashioned and created us so we can use those gifts, talents and treasures to serve one another, by doing so we become good managers of what God has given us.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6:10

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. – Philippians 2:3-4

4. Finally, when we serve one another, we are becoming like Jesus who was God yet became a man, a servant, to serve and die for us. When we serve one another we are thinking like Jesus.

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. – Philippians 2:5-8

Until Next Time
