Comments on: Being A Servant http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/08/09/being-a-servant/ A place to record notes on effective web ministry Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:08:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mag http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/08/09/being-a-servant/comment-page-1/#comment-20534 Mag Sat, 12 Aug 2006 16:06:21 +0000 http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/08/09/being-a-servant/#comment-20534 I was just praying about this yesterday. What is a good servant, say a waiter/waitress in a restaurant, and what makes for a bad one. Usually someone is either good, or bad at it...there is little middle ground. Either your needs were graciously and promptly met for you to enjoy the meal...or the person is a distraction, taking away from the refreshment and rest you needed. How does he/she dress--present themselves? How do they speak, and when? What about? When do they serve? What happens when they serve at the wrong time? Or not at all? What are their motives? Is that overly apparent? Really made me re-evaluate "how" and "why" I serve. Thanks for the thoughtful blog. I was just praying about this yesterday.
