This is a great reminder for me as I reenter my real life as a wife and mother. (I'm back from my quick trip to FL). I love it!

Scripture Reference: Micah 6:8
"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Mi 6:8 RSV).
"There is nothing conspicuous about those requirements. It is not a "special" service for which one would be likely to be decorated or even particularly remembered. But it is worth more to God than any sacrifice.
Lord, deliver me from the delusion of imagining that my desire is to serve You, when my real desire is the distinction of serving in some way which others admire."

It was this concept exactly that made me so emotional in church. Oh, how I too often want others to celebrate me instead of celebrating HIM through me. It's a hard lesson!
