Finds for Fridays: January 7 (and Joy in Service)

They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. And, of course, if you love the service God has given you to perform, it will never feel like work. Sometimes, we need to do things for the Lord that are hard and unpleasant, and we might even feel like we're struggling through them. But that is certainly not often the case.

I'm over at The Internet Cafe today, talking about a new opportunity for service that I have that has me jumping for joy - and that many of you would run from with all your might. But that's the way God made us. Check out Joy in Service today and let me know what you think. How can YOU serve the Lord in a way that brings you joy?

And NOW, back to my regular Friday feature! :)

 
Finds for Fridays is my way of sharing some of the wonderful blogs posts I read each week. I am currently following about 100 blogs and at least scan them as much as I can. Each week, I'll note and "set aside" some posts that especially speak to me for whatever reason. And each Friday that I am able, I'll share them with you. I hope you'll stop by and read the posts, and maybe even follow the blogs if you aren't already. A win-win, right?

And now...here they are!
