Hi, friends! Thank you for your encouragement and prayers last week. It had just been one of those weeks full of writing for other projects, preparing for company and enjoying having Anson home for spring break. I needed a blogging break, so thanks for hanging in there with me.
I've been thinking a lot about service this week and what it looks like to serve with humility. I often tend to over-romanticize volunteering and opportunities for service. I imagine big results, super-high spiritual feelings and long-term zeal.
What I'm actually learning to do by volunteering at our local women's shelter is to do the mundane with no noticeable results simply out of humility and obedience. There's a lot of joy that comes with it, but it's different than what I expected.
Today, I'm happy to be guest blogging at my friend Cindy Finley's blog about what's led me to want to learn how to serve well. Click here to read more.
Next week I'll have a series here from a remarkable woman who has found her life's fulfillment in serving vulnerable children. You won't want to miss it!
I'm still learning to serve in humility. What lessons can you share?

Hi Amy
Thank you for the memory about your grandmothers bottles. I remember when I was small my mom and dad
would go out on dates Friday nights before as she got ready she would use perfume from those Avon bottle
I asked her if I could have one that she had it was a swan and still you can smell the perfume that she used
I love swans they look so graceful to watch in the water.
