A Servant's Heart

While at work today  I received a message from a sister who had recently lost her sister (a former co-worker) to Ovarian cancer on December 14th.     In her note she expressed appreciation to all the people who had touched her sister's life during her battle with cancer and to those that reached out to her during the last few days, hours and minutes of her sister's life.  The note shared that each one of those people who had reached out had the heart of a servant.  The note made me very emotional as I sat there at my desk.  It also prompted me to reflect on the question, "What have I done today to reach out to those who need help"?  I am so guilty of not making an effort to reach out to those who find themselves in less fortunate circumstances than I.  I am so blessed with not only material things but for a family who loves me.   There are many people tonight that are hurting.   I pray that an opportunity will present itself to me where I can make a difference someone's life.   Open my eyes that I may see, open my hears that I may hear ....
