Love Is Action

Every work of love, no matter how small, brings a person face to face with God. It is not the magnitude of our action that counts but the love we put into it. It is not how much we do that pleases God but how much love we put into the doing.

Mother Teresa

Tonight one of the boys came home frustrated because he was in charge at work and some of the other employees wouldn't respond to him the way he wanted them to. So I sat down and asked him if he always responded the way Christ wanted him to. I tried to communicate to him that he couldn't just give up, which is what he was saying he was going to do, but this was a test a lesson to learn. We talked for awhile about how Christ never gave up on us, how the ministry is about serving others and how a good manager is a leader and not a boss. I challenged him to figure out ways to get the employees to respond because they wanted to, not because he told them to. So now I pray....God help me to help him, I don't have all the answers but you do.
