Dear Prayer Warrior Mamas,
We are in the process of selling our house. Every time we get a phone call to show the house, it's like a fire drill! We have to stop everything (there goes our homeschool!), tidy & clean the house, and scoot! Working together as a team, we are able to do this fairly quickly. They realize that, as a member of this family, they have a role to play, just like Mom & Dad. Praise the LORD that they are willing to help pull this off! Today's the third showing we've had in the last week. I love their willingness to serve our family's goals...glory be to God!
Today as you pray for you sons, we will focus on praying for God to cultivate a servant’s heart within them.

Day Eight – Servant's Heart

My husband has a servant's heart.It's his gifting. When he sees a need, he serves. When he doesn't know what else to do, he serves. During the first trimester of both of my pregnancies, when I was so sick that I couldn't keep up with the house, he did it all for me. He never asked what I needed. He never complained or whined. He just did what needed to be done. I often joke with people and say that he had no idea what to do with me, so he just took care of everything else!
Jesus led by serving.
I don't know if we can say that Jesus' gifting was to serve, after all, He was God. He didn't have to serve anyone. Neither do we. We don't have to serve others. But Jesus did. And He said that if we want to be first, we'll need to be last. He said that loving others, serving them, was serving Him--loving Him."The greatest among you shall be your servant." ~Matthew 23:11
