This week I have been serving by watching my neighbors baby. He is one and a half months old. She brings him over at 7am and I watch him for an hour while she goes to an appointment. While some have warned me about getting too involved with this neighbor(because they feel she will take advantage of me), I say yes to her anyway. I am trying to get my back better but holding a little baby makes me happy. So although I won't watch him all day because of my back, I can take him for a little bit to help his mom out.
I have noticed that as I have been focused on serving others, not only have I been happier but I have received more service as well. My friend came to swim and swept my floor and took out my garbage first. A woman from church brought over a delicious meal which fed me all week, and I received a package in the mail from an old friend.
I am blessed and I have no doubt that it's because I am serving others!
My service tip for today: If you feel someone is in need, think about the need and then go do it. Often times when we ask, people don't want to be a bother so they say they don't need anything. They need you to step up and fulfill the need.
