This morning I read chapter 3 in the book by Valorie Burton. Happiness Trigger #3 is Service.
Then I went to church, and the message today?.... was about getting involved, volunteering to become a part of the mission of the Church.
Pastor Todd reminded us a bit of the history of The Church... starting most of the world's hospitals, universities, orphanages, etc. over the centuries. Now it's our turn.... What will I do with the opportunity I have to influence others? (Influence is a stewardship).
Burton encourages us to decide: "Every day, I do at least one thing to brighten someone else's day." John 13: 12-15 One-another-ing....
Matthew 23:11 servant-hood.....
Share knowledge, give things, smile, touch, serve others! When I begin to forget to worry about my own annoyances, problems, weight gain, etc. and focus on lifting up others, I will begin to realize a lift in my HAPPY :-)
It's as important as any workout or diet. It will take discipline. It makes me smile to think that I could begin a ripple of smiles in my neighborhood.
