Ok, I am finally actually writing on my blog. I had actually started one before and regretfully the computer booted me off before I had a chance to finish it therefore deleting my entire blog.
Had a wonderful day today. Just one of those days when you actually felt like you were bringing joy into people's lives, an awesome feeling. For those of you who don't know, I actually babysit at three different jobs right now. Today I took care of my two girls, and I also do quite a bit of cleaning at this job, and from reading to them in the morning to singing with them while I pushed them on the swings ( also to singing with them to my boyfriend on the phone, today was his birthday, so they helped me sing happy birthday to him), to buying them each an ice cream cone at Byler's Store, to seeing their Mom's face light up when she came home to a clean house, to even making a meal for my family when I got home, it all added up to a beautiful day.
It's days like this when I realize that true joy comes from serving others. I wonder why I have such a hard time remembering this. Some of the most terrible days of my life are those days that I am looking to be served rather then being a servant, and those days are far more frequent than I would like to admit. May the Lord grant me a servant's heart, and help me to be thankful(not resentful) for every opportunity I have to experience His joy by serving the precious people that He has blessed my life with.
