Serve

I stumble and trip over myself too often, looking for ways to serve self instead of selflessly serve.  My oldest son calls for me to come and eat.  He tells me he has made dinner for me.  


His excitement permeates the room and he places the pan on the table.  "Eat" he says and waits expectantly.  Self serve me and a small child with a desire to serve.  


He blows on his dish to make sure nothing is too hot for me to eat.  


John 21:15-17, and Christ says "Tend My Lambs" " Shepherd My Sheep" "Tend My Sheep"... and we are called to follow Him and this means washing feet, washing dishes, cleaning spills... this means serving with love.
