"Prepared In Advance"

There are many ways to serve.
Gonda Building Interior, Mayo Clinic

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.

I am not a public speaker.
I am not educated.
I am invisible.
I am broke.
I am not someone people listen to.
I am too tired.
I am not lovable.
