The Amazing Others

Sometimes life is not fair. Be fair to others.

Sometimes life is not kind. Be kind to others.

Sometimes we feel alone. Be a friend to others.

Sometimes we need help. Be a servant of others.

Sometimes we feel sad. Be a joy to others.

Sometimes things get dark. Be the light for others.

Sometimes we need to cry. Be a comfort to others.

Sometimes we need to dance. Be the song for others.

For when our need is the greatest, our willingness to serve

Becomes our balm, our healing, our purpose.

We take our pain and turn it into

What we need most – and we provide it

To others.

For it’s in the act of washing feet

That we find our crowns.
