Happy Wednesday! I always like Wednesdays because the work week is half over and its mid week church, which helps me get through the rest of the work week.  I need that extra dose of fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ to push me through.  Gives me a little boost.
We had our ladies fellowship last night at church and I was so blessed by these awesome women God put in my life.  We shared our favorite verses from the Bible and it was such a refreshing night.  I wrote them all down because I want to put them into my mind and heart this week.  These ladies are so different and unique and I can't image not having them in my life.  They are have such different personalities, which is great, because I know just which one to reach out to when I am in need whether spiritually or just need a hand to get something done.  They are my best and dearest friends.  You know I am thinking above our service to one another today and how we should always have a servants heart.  That is the example that Jesus set for us.  Even though he was God, he washed the feet of the disciples, he met the needs of those who reached out to him throughout his short but powerful ministry.  Sometimes it is so hard because we let the world creep into our thoughts and hearts and we begin to feel like we are more deserving than we are.  We begin to think, "Well, I work hard and do all this good stuff, I need someone to do stuff for me. "  I call that, "Stinkin Thinkin".  That is worldly thinking.  God wants us to have the heart of a servant, not a heart that HAS to serve because we are told to, but one who WANTS to serve.  Servants in bible times were considered part of their owners family.  We as servants of God are part of his family and as we strive to meet the spiritual and physical needs of others, we are showing God in our lives.  I need to remember that each and every day because if I am always Stinkin Thinkin, how can others see Christ in my service and my testimony.  They won't be able to see past my attitude and my actions.   I am praying that I will remember that I am a servant of Christ and serve those around me with a cheerful heart.  This includes towards my Hubby, my church, my coworkers, anyone I come in contact with.  Galations 5:13 "For you were called to freedom, brethren, only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. "  Woo Hoo! Happy Wednesday!
