I'll A Servant Be, Part II

While I was writing my previous post, I was reminded of a song that I heard a few years ago for the first time. It goes like this...

Oh, servant King
You rule and reign from heaven's throne
And yet you came
To serve a broken world

I want to know
This kind of love this kind of grace
Lord, guide my steps
And I'll a servant be

To live within your kingdom
Knowing that the great are these
I'm walking as a humble pilgrim
I'll a servant be

I'll take my cross
And walk the path your feet have trod
To know your ways
I'll a servant be

To live within your kingdom
Knowing that the great are these
I'm walking as a humble pilgrim
I'll a servant be

And though you bless beyond all
measure
And satisfy my weary soul
I simply want to be like Jesus
To be a servant in this world

To live within your kingdom
Knowing that the great are these
I'm walking as a humble pilgrim
I'll a servant be

It is my heart's desire to serve the Most High God with my ENTIRE life and to be able to have the privilege to be called His servant. Today, our church had a rummage sale. We went and picked up some great deals, all the while helping the church reduce their building debt.

After the sale was over, my youngest son, Matt and I came back to help load up the leftovers and take them to either Goodwill of the town dump. We were blessed enough to have a few of the "leftovers" given to us, such as a dresser for the girls room, etc., but we had a great time helping load the trucks and move tables and furniture back to the rooms where they go, all the while learning about Christian service.

In looking at what the Youth were doing yesterday and what Matthew and I did today, I hope that these actions drive home the importance of service to my children.
