Sometimes life is not fair. Be fair to others.
Sometimes life is not kind. Be kind to others.
Sometimes we feel alone. Be a friend to others.
Sometimes we need help. Be a servant of others.
Sometimes we feel sad. Be a joy to others.
Sometimes things get dark. Be the light for others.
Sometimes we need to cry. Be a comfort to others.
Sometimes we need to dance. Be the song for others.
For when our need is the greatest, our willingness to serve
Becomes our balm, our healing, our purpose.
We take our pain and turn it into
What we need most – and we provide it
To others.
For it’s in the act of washing feet
That we find our crowns.
