So very true, and there is no higher calling in this life time than to invest wisely in the Kingdom of God. For the believer, that is the most important job we have, and we are all gifted in one way or an other to be able to serve for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.
Absolutely... I was trying to explain that to the girls the other day and I was having a hard time with it; I was trying to convey how our "cup overflows" onto others. And I had a lesson just toss itself on my couch. The laundry.

My youngest had responded to my request that she help me sort all the socks with this lovely statement, "I'm not a slave." Ohhhhh wow not the right thing to say lol

I told her, "you want the truth? You ARE a servant, you WILL be a servant, and you will LEARN how to lovingly obey and graciously help others or your cup will remain empty. My whole duty in life is to serve others, and you will grow up one day and if you decide you want to be a Christian and maybe even a mother, you will find that out. Serving others is from our heart, not because we're forced to. Now fold the socks because you love your mom and want to spend good time with her, not because you feel like a slave."
Willingly spend our time, energy, and profit on another, and we will get that right back
