Let it rain...

Day 4 of our 40 Days of Service and 2nd Day of Planned Acts of Kindness (wiiserve.org). Well today's challenge was to share your umbrella with someone. An umbrella in use would generally accompany rain falling. And rain falling is not something we can control. As much as we have good intentions of performing that task, we can't do it without help.

Today I am glad to report that it rained in Kansas City. Usually I'm not a fan of the ran but today I was glad about it. It allowed me a chance to open up that umbrella and share it with one of my co-workers as she walked to her car.

Helping others requires divine intervention. Rain usually symbolizes blessings. Serving others requires God's blessings to be present for us to share. We can never allow ourselves to be proud about all the service we are doing because if God didn't send His rain, then we wouldn't be able to do the small tasks we do. Remember He controls the rain.
