A Day of Service

“We must learn to live together as brothers or die separately as fools.”

This is Martin Luther King Day, a day to honor the service, Dr. King and millions of others give everyday.
This is a day to remember how giving is our true and highest way of living.
This is a day to love unconditionally, serve from the heart and remember God.
This is a day to honor the dream of living as brothers on our home planet Earth.

For those who have never experienced the powerful possibility of walking hand in hand, begin today.
For those who have not know brotherly love for all humanity, today is the day to learn.
For those who have not forgiven themselves for the wars and violence, the anger and hate, do it now.
For those who have not realized we are all family here on Earth, wake up and see how it is WE.

When we give to another, we are giving to all.
When we serve another, we are serving everyone.
When we free another, we are freeing ourselves.
When we love another, we are loving our Source and all creation.

To serve is to listen within to see what is truly best for all concerned.
To serve is to respect the dignity of others as we give what they truly want and need.
To serve is to seek to lift up, empower and encourage others to live their dream.
To serve is to honor what is good for all of humanity.

Service:When you see something that needs to be done (your opinion), it is yours to do.
When you believe there is a better way, it is yours to model for all to see.
When you have a gift within, it is yours to give freely and joyously to those who would receive gratefully.
When you have more than you need, it is yours to share with those who have needs.
(You may want more because you are greedy or afraid of not having.)
What you “need”is what you need to have in order to give your best to others everyday in every way.


To offer “service” is to “serve us”.

Be aware of where you perceive a need and offer your service.
Be aware of where you judge the needs you see and forgive your judgments.
Give to the source of your Good, so that you always see the Good you fully appreciate.

Happiness comes for those who serve.
Fulfillment comes only when you share your inner fullness.
Security comes from sharing your Good for the Good of all.
Inner Peace is the result of serving with purpose and Joy.

Loving us all,
Betty Lue

For those who see God in all People and All Acts of True Service”
