Improving Your Serve

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45

Each January, I try to read all or part of a wonderful book, Improving Your Serve, by Chuck Swindoll. It is such a great reminder to serve others and live an unselfish life. This year, it is my goal to begin teaching Eli the art of unselfish living, specifically in the area of helping/serving others in need. We are trying to do small things each month that help Eli learn these things. Yesterday, we made a meal for our friends that have a new baby. It's such a small thing to do, but while we were making the meal, Eli and I talked about helping others. The conversation was so sweet. During the discussion, Eli said (many times), "But, what are we having for supper?"...a little indication that he didn't totally get it, but he will in time. : )
