"You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. And you can be that servant." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Today we all put on the "one size fits all" medical exam gloves and spent a few hours walking the river path downtown. Well, we weren't only walking...we were also filling up a garbage sack with trash. It was pouring down rain when we left home, but we came prepared. However, as we pulled into our parking spot, the sun came out in glorious fashion and shone down on us the entire time.
I'm thankful for everyday graces such as that.
Doing something like this is such a sweet time with the kids. I don't take it for granted and pray for many more opportunities to serve alongside them.
You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteWe did it with the Yoders last year. Ever since then, when we go to the river path, we try to pick up at least a few things. It's a spot we enjoy, so I think we should try to keep it nice. :)
