I absolutely love this thought! My dear mother in law Bev is always serving everyone, and even though she is aging, she can still work circles around all of us! I asked her one time how she could not get frustrated to be the only one working sometimes while everyone else is resting. She said that when she is doing chores, she thinks about how much she loves the people she is doing them for. When she folds laundry, she thinks about how much she loves each person she is folding a shirt for, or how glad she is to have food for the everyone to eat when she is doing the dishes. That has been such a wonderful example to me over the years when I am doing chores that I am not particularly fond of. Thinking of it as an act of service for someone I love instead of a chore can really change how I feel about doing it!

I have the pleasure of working with Crisis Cleanup taking phone calls from those affected by disasters in their area. Volunteer groups then go and do the actual work. In many cases, I may be the first person that the one involved in the disaster speaks to. It is an awe inspiring responsibility to hear their stories, get the facts, and know that God is using me to get help to them as quickly as possible through this great program. I can spend several hours doing this and feel as though it is no time at all.
