Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

I am “not allowed” to take on more responsibilities at church because of all I already do. Yet, I have had to step in with every ministry at some point. People get sick, things stop working, life happens. And we currently are in a position of weekly set-up and tear-down.

Let us always be ready to jump in and help where needed.

This almost feels selfish, because my wife and I currently make trips to help care for her elderly grandmother.
