We are all called to serve (Elizabeth Bonker)

 
    We are all called to serve, as an everyday act of humility, as a habit of mind.  To see the worth in every person we serve... Whatever our life choices, each and every one of us can live a life of service — to our families, to our communities and to the world. And the world can't wait to see our light shine.
