At Wednesday night prayer service my pastor had made a statement that resonated deep within , " a life withdrawn from service to God and man will lack true meaning and vitality ". For the past 5 years living here in the QC, I have not done for the most part the thing that has given me one of the greatest satisfaction and thus my physical, emotional and spiritual well being had not been what it ought to be. This past Sunday I had the opportunity to participate in an activity with a Meet Up group called " Doing My Part- Hitting the Streets - Feeding the Homeless on the Streets of Charlotte ". I don't know who was more blessed, the "less fortunate" or this woman whose life had been less fortunate, withdrawn from service from both God and my fellow human. Booker T Washington said it best, "A sure way to uplift yourself is to uplift others". Thank God He had afforded me the opportunity to once again realized how blessed I am and walking away this particular evening feeling so uplifted. I pray it not be a momentary experience but one that will last by His grace.
