Serving Within Our Home

Serving Within Our Home

Serving within our own home / family will be first, which means we are to be patient with those who love us; and we can choose to not be offended when they offer counsel and help while we are trying to make this great change. We must be open with them and not isolate; and we must listen and communicate even when we don’t feel like it.

It is our family members / good friends that are going to see us through this change the most, and not the using friends. However, why is it that sometimes the using friends get treated better than than those who actually love and care for us?

Within the walls of our homes, whether we are married or live with our parents, or whomever— we can offer a helping hand in all of the daily chores.

If we have children, they can witness us being patient with them and their mother/father, while at the same giving them wise counsel as they fumble along in their pre-school stages of life.

By us having patience within our homes, a spiritual sense of reverence will start to dwell therein, creating a most special family atmosphere—which becomes a great form of service in that the home is now peaceful.

Serving Other Family Members

There are those family members outside of our immediate family who would appreciate a visit from us; even our grandparents, or the elderly in our family, which are those who often times get over looked because of how slow their way of life has become. We can, by all means, drop by unexpectedly, offering a hand of assistance wherever it might be needed, or to just communicate to them on how our own lives are going, and letting them know how much it is that we appreciate them.

The slow, boring, monotonous day for the elderly can be brought to life if we would just stop in with having a smile on our face, a willingness to communicate, and of course us taking the opportunity to trade hugs with them.
