Abide In Me

Community Service seems to be a healthy trend that's growing daily...schools, private and public, require it and even the judicial system is assigning it rather than incarceration.  There is a spiritual component to service, from teamwork, to growth in community; from reflection on the work to prayer.  Some do not see the connection to the spiritual world, and would prefer just to "serve", just to do the work involved.   But, the true value of service comes from union with the VINE...where the juices of grace provide the fruit which comes from our labors, our service.  "Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me, you can do nothing." (Jn 15: 5)
Let us abide in Jesus and bear that fruit which will last.
