"Serve the Lord with gladness...."
Elisabeth Elliot once wrote this about serving in our home:
"This job has been given to me to do.
Therefore, it is a gift.
Therefore, it is a priviledge.
Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God.
Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him.
Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way.
In this job, not some other, God looks for faithfulness."
Questions to ponder--
Do we see our homes and families as a gift?
Do we count it a priviledge to serve in our homes?
Do we make our service an offering to God? It is a sweet savor to Him?
Do we do it gladly?
Do we see it as a way to learn more about God?
Are we faithful?
