While we were at the beach we had to squeeze in around the table and if you were sitting in the chairs that were near the wall, it was very hard to get out. Jokingly, John told one of the kids to just stand up and step on David's head. David obediently put his head down and closed his eyes. My Mom said, "He really has a servant's heart, doesn't he?" Then my brother-in-law shared about what had happened earlier that same day. My brother-in-law was holding my nephew in a chair on the beach. He told my nephew not to put his feet up in the chair because they were sandy. David overheard this, got a bucket, walked down to the ocean, filled the bucket with water and carried it back. He then poured the water over his cousin's feet to wash the sand off. The only reason for him to do this was that he wished to serve his cousin. Nobody asked him to do it.
Sitting with Taryn, keeping her company while she did her schoolwork:
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11
