Romans 16:6
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
I just began a new "wifey book." I try to get at least one each time I order hubby's books for the coming semester. I chose Building Her House by Nancy Wilson. I would love to sit down and devour it, but I must keep up with other responsibilities. I did read a chapter entitled "Loving Labor." During this season of giving, it was a great reminder. Sometimes we, especially as women, are busy serving and doing for others but we miss the heart of the action. We might serve out of necessity; We might serve grudgingly. Our service in the home, church, and community should be an act of love that points to our great God and Savior I know that I needed this attitude adjustment. I need to wholeheartedly bestow my service.
Are you tired and weary today? Think of your service as a gift. Will it be given in a trash bag? Will it be a half-hearted gift? or will it be a beautiful gift tied off with a beautiful bow? Will the response of the recipient be all the thanks that is needed?
