SERVICE

Sometimes when men and women are trying to communicate their love, the women will want the men to talk to them, or dialogue, while the men's way of showing that they care, will be their gift of service, as in their mowing the yard or taking out the trash. Even Jesus used the gift of service when He washed the disciples feet! The gift of service is an exemplary act of humbly giving,to others when it is done with the love of Christ.
The morning after David junior died, I received a call from a friend, whose son had also died, and while I was talking to Lea on the phone, Carmen came into the living room and gently began to wash and massage my feet.
I have never been so touched in all my life, folks. I felt as if my Lord had placed me right next to Him and said "it's okay, Becky". I can't explain what that gift did to me at that moment, but it touched me fourteen years ago, like nothing ever has, and I will forever be grateful to Carmen for her gift of service and love.
That was the gift of service, wrapped in Jesus!
