Lately, I've been challenged to serve in ways that I wouldn't normally volunteer for. For example, I was asked to serve in care group childcare, which is something I don't really do. I had been planning to go to care group and participate in the meeting but at the last minute…. “Kaylee, would you be willing to serve…..?” I was really tired that day, because I was working all day at church, but thankfully, God gave me the grace to say "Yes" to serving and I had a great time! I totally decided before I went in that I would love these kids and have a ton of fun just acting like one of them. It was such a blast. Blocks and puzzles have never been so cool. I guess what I'm trying to say is, God gave me the grace and JOY to go play with these kids when I really wanted to be in the meeting. It turned out to be one of the most fun times, but God totally surprised me with joy that night.

He is amazing isn't he?
That's sooo great Kaylee! My dad and I were actually just talking about ways to serve and serving with a Joyful Heart last night! =) It makes serving so much more fun for us and others when we do it with joy, and it blesses God! Thanks for sharing this!
I agree with both Ian and Carly-God is great and serving with a joyful heart is what Christ would want us to do! Thanks so much for sharing this, Kaylee! It was so encouraging!
