Finally, My First Kiss!!

He's short, sweet, and makes me giggle constantly. And he kissed me yesterday!! Ok, ok, so he's one of the kids from the shelter where I've been volunteering. And the kiss consisted of him putting his little hands on my face and kissing my cheeks. So I still haven't had my fist kiss, but that's a completely different story. The moral of this story is that service is one of the greatest opportunities God has given each one of us. I came upon this epiphany today as I was riding back from Slidell. The community group I'm in has psuedo-adopted this couple who were completely impacted by Katrina. So this was Saturday number two of us helping out them and their neighbors. We moved stuff, threw stuff out, tried not to yack because of the smell of mold and even did a little landscaping since Katrina felt the need to throw trees around like matchsticks. Anyways, on the way back home I was looking at the clouds grinning at how creative God is, thanking Him for His graciousness in giving me the chance to glorify Him through serving others and it hit me like a ton of bricks. He's given me the honor to serve people. In fact, He's given it to all of us. Do you realize that offering help, a little cash, or even just a smile have the power to impact lives? We all have the capability to be Jesus to someone. More often than not, God places people in our paths where the only thing we need to do is point them to Him. That doesn't mean that everyone is called to be a preacher or a children's minister. But you never know how God will use the actions of one to impact many. So when God asks you to serve someone, what will be your answer?
