Self contemplation: If I were to make a pie graph of the days of my life, how much of it would be taken with serving others versus serving self? Am I store-housing treasures in heaven by pouring myself out on others? Am I doing enough for my King, who died for me? I think of the little plaque that always hung above the sink in Tantie’s [my stepgrandma’s] kitchen:
Only one life will soon be past;
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
