Shared from a facebook friend When service is unto people, the bones can grow weary, the frustration deep. Because, agrees Dorothy Sayers, whenever man is made the centre of things, he becomes the storm-centre of trouble. The moment you think of serving people, you begin to have a notion that other people owe you something for your pains...You will begin to bargain for reward, to angle for applause... When the eyes of the heart focus on God, and the hands on always washing the feet of Jesus alone - the bones, they sing joy and the work returns to its purest state: eucharisteo. The work becomes worship, a liturgy of thankfulness. The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action writes Mother Theresa. If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus... thats what makes us content. Deep joy is always in the touching of Christ - in whatever skin He comes to us in. ― Ann Voskamp
