Service is a lovely gift...
A blessing for another.
It sees and meets a real need
For neighbor, boss or brother.
Reaching out with loving hands,
It sends a big smile from the heart.
Serving with compassion
Is a very precious art.
It seeks to put another first,
Not thinking of itself as "best".
To satisfy another's needs
Is it's focus and it's quest.
A gentle sensitivity
Flows throughout it's being,
Causing it to have perception
And to be far-seeing.
What a blessing, what a gift,
For family or friend.....
To wear a servant's mantle
And acts of kindness lend.
The lowliest of tasks performed
The greatest gift may be.
Servanthood translates
Into a word, L-O-V-E.
"By love serve one another."
Galatians 5:13 KJV
