at the dinner table we were referencing something about La Rocha where we visited with the kids a few weeks ago, something about the beans we were sorting and how they were dried. Tallie says, again offhanded,”oh, you mean that place where we were helping the world?”
It sounded rather grand put in those terms and i thought to myself, “why not put it in those terms?” that sounds a whole lot more purposeful and connects you to a bigger purpose than just sorting a few beans. We really didn’t know who the beans were going to anyway and didn’t accomplish a lot of actual work, but God sees the heart of his children engaging to serve others and He sees the ripple effects that can indeed affect the world. The next time i do something that seems rather simple and unglamorous i’ll try to remember that i am “serving the world.”
