There are so many ways to serve one another. Maybe you could bake a pie for someone, or help with cleaning or babysitting. Maybe just taking a moment to visit with and really listen to another. Offering a deep heartfelt prayer for the concerns, trials or situation of another may be the greatest service anyone can give for another. Service is action. Love is action. And giving is ultimately a gift to yourself. You will be blessed.
“To measure the goodness of life by its delights and pleasures is to apply a false standard. The abundant life does not consist of a glut of luxury. It does not make itself content with commercially produced pleasure, mistaking it for joy and happiness. To find real happiness, we must seek for it in a focus outside ourselves. No one has learned the meaning of living until he has surrendered his ego to the service of his fellowmen. Service to others is akin to duty, the fulfillment of which brings true joy.”
