3 Minute Retreat - Service

We as a society tend to focus on being of service at particular times of the year. I believe this is where we get it very wrong.

People are in need of help all year long, through every season. There are always going to be unfortunate situations that cause folks to need help.

Our world is seeing more homeless and less fortunate living in shelters, going to food banks and in need of basics regularly to no fault for our world is becoming an unforgiving place to live.

How have you been of service in your life to those in need?

Does it come from a sincere and human place or is it of obligation or through your church. There is a very real difference between the two.

Take some time to consider how you view service.

How have others been of service to you or someone you love?

Service is not just about the obvious. Service can be kindness to others who least expect it. Service can be financial contributions. Service can be not judging those less fortunate, but taking the time to walk alongside then when they need to someone to listen.
​
Service is simply presence to those in need.
