SERVICE IS A BLESSING
If you sit and wait for blessings I’m sure they will not come,
For to gain all goodly blessings some work needs to be done,
Just a small act of simple kindness can bring them your way,
The more you serve, more blessings you’ll count at the end of the day.

The Lord is never stingy, He will do more than His fair share
Of returning gifts of kindness with joy beyond compare,
A saddened heart will be lightened if you serve with a smile,
Or some poor soul may need you to go that extra long mile.

Someone may be in trouble, you help, so gain an understanding heart,
Others may need some comfort, you gain love as you do your part,
Every act of love, every tender thought helps us more to grow
To be like the our Saviour as in His steps we strive to go.

To have the ability to serve, what a blessing, for we then can give,
One that develops as like to belike our master we try to live,
Yes. it is a blessing to serve for double blest we will be,
Through service we find a path to heaven for eternity.
