I’m used to being the one serving others, someone who does things for people when they need help or just because I want to show that I care. I’m so used to it that sometimes I have a hard time letting other people serve me. It feels wrong somehow, even though there’s nothing wrong with it at all. It’s actually right to let people help you and do things for you, because that’s a way for them to express how much they care.
Because it’s a good thing to do helpful, encouraging things for people, we should all remember that serving and being served in this way are both good. Even if someone could manage or get by without help, it’s always wonderful to have someone show up with it. Even when you could manage or get by without help, it’s always wonderful to have someone to show up with it.
One more thing. Because doing helpful, encouraging things for people is a way to express care and love, we should do it for others and we shouldn’t keep others from doing it for us. Show someone you care by serving them, and let someone show you they care by serving you.
