Paul says he was appointed to Christ's service, and I believe him. We are all appointed to the service of our Lord Jesus. What does it mean to you to serve Jesus? The ways to serve are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Don't limit yourself to just a few of them! The opportunities are everywhere and put in your path for a reason. Today, I give you 10 suggestions for ways you can serve your family, your friends, your grocery store checker, your barber...and anyone else. I don't feel any are more important than the rest, so no ranking them this week.
- Help with their yardwork.
- Free babysitting.
- Pay for the order of the car behind you in the drive-thru.
- Buy $10 gift McDonald's (or other fast food) gift cards to hand to homeless people on the corner. That way they can get something to eat and you know they won't buy alcohol or cigarettes.
- Take a sack of groceries (milk, eggs, cheese, diapers, etc.) to a young couple with small children. I promise you they could use them!
- Buy your spouse a small gift on a random day just to say "I love you."
- Volunteer...anywhere. Food banks, churches, hospitals...they all love to have volunteers.
- Regularly quote scripture on Facebook and Twitter. You never know when something that impacted you will have as much or more impact on another.
- Reach out to those who are alone, and especially the elderly. You never know when a simple knock on the door might be just what someone needs. An hour of your time can make a lifetime of a difference.
- Smile, laugh, and hug. These three things are always free, so easy to give, and are contagious!
