A Servant's Blessing

After reading my friend Shirley Buxtons' "God Things" blog I thought of this story about being a servant.

While I was working at the church on our new building last Saturday one of our young people came and asked our Pastor Bro. Wayne Trout if he wanted some coffee. He replied "No thank you". she then came and asked me as well, I said "Yes". I then told her that Pastor like tea instead of coffee.

A few minutes later she came out with a tray loaded with all kinds of stuff and tea for Pastor and coffee for me. She went to him first and served him then she came to me.

Pastor was overjoyed at the service and I was surprised at how she so easily fit into the servants role. She has had some normal youth problems with peer pressure and her mother has been working with her to overcome these things.

I commented to Pastor that she had some little things she was dealing with as a typical young person. But as long as her Mom kept her at church instead of running everywhere else or staying in bed on Saturdays the girl is on the right track.

If she continues to put the work of God and the church first God will help her to overcome everything.
