What is Service
to you?
Service
Doing service is a powerful way to open the
heart and fulfill the soul. Those people who do
service know how much joy they receive from
giving others. The more inner work we do to
fill ourselves with love, the more our heart
overflows to the point where we may feel
compelled to help others.
Service
Doing service is a matter of discovering your passion
and then offering your time and love. You might have a
special interest in protecting the environment, stopping child
abuse, helping the homeless or caring for the dying. You
might offer service through your creativity, creating beautiful
drawings, ceramics or quilts to donate to charitable causes
or give as gifts. Tuning in to your feelings of what brings you
joy will lead you toward knowing how you want to be of
service to others.
Service
In fact, anything you offer that expresses your love
is service - your time, creativity, encouragement or
a warm and caring smile to a hassled store clerk.
Service is not only expressed in specific works but
also in your intention in each and every moment.
Have you ever smiled at a
stranger or offered a
compliment just because you
noticed something in him or her
that caught your eye?
When was the last time you
said how much you appreciate
someone?
When your heart is open to
others, service can be a way of
life.
Service
The practice of service does not have to be done only
on an individual level. It is possible for whole
families to participate in service projects. Rather than
relaxing around the house and watching TV together,
you can participate in a local environmental or social
project. Families who do service together generally
maintain a higher level of values and unity than those
who do not create the time for such activities.
Service
Each of us needs to find the service that excites us,
enlivens us and fills our heart with joy as we express
God’s love through our actions. Giving for the pure joy
of giving feeds the soul. We love God by loving the
children of God and serving them in any way we can. It
is through service that we can truly grow spiritually.
Give a compliment to your
friends, family, or
teachers. Also Don’t
Forget to Smile :)
