"Contribute to the needs of the others and seek to show hospitality." Romans 12:13
There was no need to ask the class what they had been doing before their library time It wasn't so much their activity level when entering the room, sweaty wet clothes or the glistening balls of sweat on their faces, as it was the smell of the sweltering heat oozing from their bodies and now swirling in the library. Recess had definitely marred the group, and now we needed to work closely with them in a planned activity.
Sometimes we know or can determine the whys of a tough situation before us and sometimes we are clueless. Sometimes it takes a reading between the lines and just doing what needs to be done. Whatever the case, may we approach it with care and kindness.
Father, when we are faced with unusual or unpleasant circumstances, help us respond in love. When we serve others, may we remember our response can make a difference in their day... and perhaps even their life.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
