Aphorisms On Service

To serve is to be aware of the needs of the moment.

Opportunities to serve are opportunities to grow; these opportunities may pass, so seize them.

Service is what meets the need; it need not be perfect.

Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.

Service doesn't mean serving when it's convenient to serve.

Being a servant means being in readiness, not having your life completely filled with personal commitments that keep you too busy to respond to others.

In service we take on the garment of humility and express our commitment.
