Relationship.
Varied connections exist between all of us. We can relate as a friend, relative, parent, acquaintance, co-worker, colleague, employee, customer, client, and more. Once upon a time, I heard a very down-to-earth analogy to help understand some of these personal relationships.
Here's how it goes. You have various people in your life. Some are Sidewalk People. Some are Porch People. Some are Living Room People. And some, very few, are Refrigerator People. Huh?

"Prepared In Advance"
There are many ways to serve.
Some read to children while others teach adults to read for themselves.
Some serve meals at shelters for the homeless while others deliver meals-on-wheels to shut-ins.
Some lead from a pulpit while others serve by work-place example.
Some serve on the front lines and others with donations.
We sometimes elevate some forms of service over others. The service of Church leaders might seem to be more important than spending time answering phones at a local nonprofit. However, I'm thinking that our human value hierarchy does not match-up with God's.
