Growing up with those “everyone gets punished” moments at school made me big on fairness as a mom, but I’ve realized that sometimes my obsession with keeping things even has slowed down our willingness to simply serve one another. As I look at Jesus’ call to go the extra mile and Paul’s reminder in Philippians 2:4 to look beyond ourselves, I’m learning that quick, quiet service—without expecting anything back—is one of the sweetest ways we can love like Him.

"Those aren't my shoes, dishes, mess, etc." Today we're talking about why it's important to be the first to serve, and slow to expect that someone else will take care of. Quick obedience shapes my walk with God, my respect for authority, and the way I move through everyday life.
