I swear as time goes on it gets harder and harder to keep acts of service at the forefront of my mind.
On Thursday, my act of kindness was to order Nathan's anniversary present. I wanted to make sure that it's here in time for our anniversary next month. It was a lot of fun working on it for him. I wish I could say more, but I can't.
On Friday, I bought Nathan and his coworker lunch and took it to them at work.
On Saturday, I let Devon have control of the downstairs television and gave him a day off from chores.
On Sunday, Nathan and I taught our youth Sunday School class.
On Monday, I took care of myself. I went to work and got my hair done. And hung out with Nathan playing puzzle games on my phone. It was a good day.
On Tuesday, I let it go. I came home to a ridiculously messy home and two boys who were playing video games, one of which had had a friend over. Instead of harping on them, I asked them to pick up some stuff while I made dinner. In reality I wanted to get onto them and pack the Xbox-es away. This feels like a very frequent experience.
I feel like I'm getting in a service rut. I have been focusing on other things, so my acts of service are not as thought intensive as I had hoped. I want to shake it up a little and do more. That's my goal for the next 7 days.
