Growing Through Service Work

I live my life in service to Spirit and to all humanity.

When I am doing God's will I am grateful for all of the opportunities given to me. 

Many people have risk their lives in service to their countries, their communities, their families and all humanity.  Those who have served have mad our lives better, enhancing our security, well-being and peace.

I am so grateful for the people who fight to keep us free and away from being attacked. I never thought I would see a war fought here on American soil but 9-11-01 we were attacked.   Now there are times when the hardened soul still come after us.  I am so grateful for all our country does to keep them out of harms way.  We are secure in knowing that we are all on our own journey.  God has a plan for us and no man can destroy God's plan.

As I contemplate their service, my heart is filled with gratitude.  I pray a simple prayer that each one be blessed by Spirit.  May every person who has served his or her nation enjoy a life enriched in return.

As our solders return from war many are changed in a hard negative way.  We have facilities and resources to help them but many times they don't know how to hear God's messages or to proud to ask for help.  Many come back changed for the good and grow in faith.  I too grow in faith more when I am struggling than just flowing along in the flow.  I am getting better at recognizing my struggling and know it does not need to be a struggle.  I love it when I remember I don't have to swim upstream.

In serving others we serve God.  To give of ourselves--our time, energy, love and understanding--in joyous service to anyone in need is service that brings great happiness and satisfaction.

I share myself with others all the time.  I have great spiritual mentor and I am a mentor to 2 beautiful souls.  Jen and Holly.  I practice serving everyone and I grow spiritually too.

Now there are variety of gifts, but the same spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord 1 Corinthians 12:4-5
