I Am Happy In The Service Of The King

Okay, I missed Friday this week.  I was considering several different things for my "favorite things" idea of the week.  There are so many fun things that we did this week. Great activities with the kids, some of our favorite books, a new resource we have been using or some inspiring organizational idea; they all went through my mind, but I could decide on one single thing.  Besides my indecision, I've been incredibly busy.  You know how it goes; school, laundry, dishes, floors, bathroom, the list goes on and on.  Plus, my sweet husband had to work on Saturday, and I've been helping plan a youth activity for our teens and prepare for my Sunday school class and children's church as well.  Some things have fallen a little behind and I've been madly trying to catch up on everything.  I was planning to go to a baby shower between services Sunday afternoon, but was needed for our teen activity instead.  Oh well, plans change and life goes on, right?

So, with a new week just beginning (and I'm still trying to catch my breath from the previous week and prepare for the week ahead) I was thinking on our way home tonight about how blessed I am to be serving my King each day.  There are days when I think of the Scripture that says, "be not weary in well doing," and I think to myself "how?"  There are days when there is just so much to be done that I can't help but be a little weary.  But even in the most stressful, complicated, and busy times, I am happy in the service of the King.  There is nothing I would rather do with my life than serve the Lord. 

I love my Sunday school class.  I teach the junior's class and they have the best questions about the lesson each week.  They have a different perspective than adults or the preschoolers.  They just see it differently.  I enjoy teaching them Biblical principles and watching them grow in the Lord.  I can watch their lives as they weigh their decisions and it blesses my heart to see them choose the right paths.

I have a blast with our children's church kids.  They are a fun group of kids.  One of my fantastic teens helps me each week and we have such a great time with those preschoolers.  I love their enthusiasm.    I look forward to children's church each Sunday.

The teen activity today was fun and the Lord blessed us with great weather.  I enjoy being with teens who love the Lord.  I love it when the people around us comment on what a great group of young people we have.  They are a testimony everywhere they go and I am thrilled to be with such a great group of young people. 

Today, my favorite thing is simply serving the Lord.
