Serving

Philippians 2:3-5 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. [4] Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. [5] Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: [NIV]

I got to spend last night at our church for the launch of this years Vacation Bible school. I love VBS. The kids are so happy to be there. They have so much fun, and they get to hear the truth about Jesus and his love.
But last night what I was so happy to see was our youth (you guys). VBS does not happen without help and volunteers and while the adults have turned out to help, last night I saw you all helping. Some of you were helping with crafts. Some of you were helping with snacks. Some of you were teaching the dancing and music, and some of you were walking around with the kids helping them get from place to place. I was proud to see you all stepping up and doing what needed to be done.
The scripture above not only talks about serving others, but the attitude we should have in serving others. We are not to serve because we have to. We are not to serve because we want to get recognition or awards, but we are to serve so that others can see Jesus in us and through our actions.
Have a great day everyone. And serve one another
