Be a Testimony: Serving Others

Hello Guys!

I am here to introduce a new series entitled Be a Testimony!

I will post every week a new post about how we can sparkle through shining Jesus in our lives. If you are interested in writing a guest post, email me and I will send you the list of topics you can choose from. I hope this will encourage you as your *sparkle* for Jesus!

Here’s the first post: Serving Others

My dad drove me and my brother up to the building, a huge church, and we jumped out excitedly. It was the day I had been looking forward to—my brother and I would be volunteering in the tween girl’s and boy’s programs at the THSC 2016 Convention. Now that I think about it, I probably wasn’t thinking about how I would be serving others. You know what? I was serving the parents, the children, the people who ran the programs, the convention, and people in general. If I had sat down and thought about it, I would have realized that this was an amazing opportunity for me to shine Jesus. Not that I didn’t, now I just think about how much greater the opportunity was than I thought. I had a fabulous time and it was an amazing time of serving with my best friends!

The Lord says in Galatians 5:13 “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve each other humbly in love.”

The world says to be selfish, but we are called to serve others!

Simply helping a busy mom for a day with dishes, cooking, cleaning and babysitting will be a 

blessing! Here are ten ways you can *sparkle* this week by serving others:

~Smile

~Offer to hold a baby at church

~Cook dinner for your mom

~Say kind and uplifting words

~Clean a small part of your house

~Help with your siblings

~Do something out of the ordinary

~Leave a quarter on a gum machine or a dollar on a drink/snack machine

~Share a Bible verse with someone

~Assist an elderly person whenever you see them in need

These are just a few ways. We are called to serve others rather than selfishly indulge in our own fleshly desires. Spread your *sparkle* this week and serve others!
