Today was a pretty rough Sunday. The kids were nuts but the worst behavior come from a few parents who were way out of line. Days like that can make you wonder why you even bother. If the parents don’t appreciate it… what’s the point?
God had a simple reminder for me:
You’re not serving them… you’re serving me.
God will never disrespect you. He never looks down on you for being a servant. He is always proud, always thrilled with your service. He is the reason we do what we do. He’s always worth working for.
I hope that sample phrase ministers to you as much as it did me. It falls into the category of things you know you know… but need to be reminded of in a fresh way once in a while.
Plus… it was only two sets of parents… not all of them.

Sorry you had a rough Sunday.
"I" still Love Your Guts!!!
Thanks, man. I needed that today; I’ve had a couple of rough Sundays in a row!
I know this is an “older post” but I “stumbled” upon it at the perfect time. I’m all revved up for Easter weekend and get slammed by some thoughtless people/parents… Thank you for posting this reminder!
