service

My thoughts lately have turned to service. When I serve i get so much more out of it than the person I serve does. I love the rush of knowing that you've made a difference in someones life. I like to linger with people for a few minutes to listen to them and get to know them because those are the things i think people will remember. Those are the things i remember about people who have served me. I dont remember wether or not people are of a high skill level at what they do and I dont remember what kind of clothes they wore or how popular they were. The things i remember most about the people I admire are things like taking a moment to stop and smile or to listen when I had something to say or people who tried to spend a little extra time with me to make me know that they had my back. And so i've made it a goal to live my life in such a way that people can look back and say he really cared about me and so that I can pass on all the service i've recieved. As i try i see the lord blessing and serving me even more. which leaves me further indebted to him and gives me a greater desire to serve others. I'm convinced that service is the only way to go in life.
