Service

 Service starts with recognizing the divine within that which you are serving. 

This doesn’t have to be complicated — in fact it’s meant to be very simple. This can be as easy as a smile to the person checking you out at the grocery or it can be making your aged dogs last year‘s with arthritis as joyful and as painless as possible. It can be replanting a Christmas tree that wants to be back outside (even if it’s likely to die) or moving a worm from the road so it’s not smashed as St. Francis did. 

When we hear the Song of Creation — it’s actually when we recognize WE are the Song of Creation — we know what service is needed in each moment. Every act of service done with an open heart and as part of the song of creation is so powerful,  even the removing of a worm off the road. 

When we are in true service, we are in great joy. Mother Theresa recognized the divine in the lepers. This is how she was able to serve them with the greatest of joy under extremely difficult circumstances in the slums of Calcutta.
