Family Matters

My blogging history has been sketchy for the past few weeks because of numerous family issues.  That and the fact that I have over scheduled myself and so I don't have time to write in advance.  I have heard about a "servant's heart" before, but could it be that I might be developing one?  Jesus himself said that he had come to serve, not to be served- a radical idea at the time.  How could the Messiah be a servant to all?  How can we be a servant to all?  I know society pushes "taking time for yourself" and "making yourself a priority," but do these catch phrases have us focus inward too much?  Jesus told us to "love your neighbor as yourself"- taking our inward focus and directing it outward to others.  Lent is a perfect time to try to get outside yourself and use your energy to help others.  We're all brothers and sisters in Christ- time to attend to family matters!
