Servant. [Philippians 2:3]

Php 2:3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

Today I think I have seen one of the greatest acts of servanthood that I have in quite a while. This morning my church began preparations

for our annual Clothing Giveaway. For those of you that do not know what that is:

We put about 40 tables up in our gymnasium. Over the period of about a year, we have a barn that gets filled with donations (clothing, toys, furniture, etc.). All of those donations are taken into the gym and separated out onto tables (Each table gets about a 4-5 foot pile of clothes on it). The day of the giveaway our church not only gives away the clothes, but also a hot lunch, drinks and a bible to each family.

Back to the point:
This morning I saw about 40-50 members out of our congregation take time out of their schedules to set up, haul and sort the donations. I don’t know about you, but I know that I could have found many others things to do this morning. On top of that, I was extremely hot and humid.

We see in Philippians, Paul talking about being a servant. We are to take on the attitude of Christ, who came to this earth to serve and not to be served. I definitely saw that this morning out of the members of First Baptist.

Great Job!
