Earlier this week; I was helping with the disabled ministry and I was asked by one of the leaders if I could help assist with a special needs Sunday school class. I was honored that they thought I’d be a good fit; it was also exactly what I needed to get of my depressive funk; I was really excited about it. Well. my first Sunday school assisting was this morning at 9:30. It was pretty easy; the church had set up the lesson and all we had to was follow the guide. The class only had one person attending and he was young man about 14 years old; he was great. He kind of shy and quiet; a lot like I was at that age but very bright. He has some special needs and I am so glad there is a Sunday school that serves him; there is a class for children, teens and adults ( the same adults that participate in the disabled ministry); I will be assisting in the teen class. We wrote some things on the dry erase board; the theme being serving others ( which is what church is about, right?) We watched a video about Jesus washed the feet of his disciples during Passover and how Jesus expects us the wash the feet of others. It’s a metaphor of course for serving the needs of others. Jesus wants us to put others before ourselves and that will make us great in his eyes; an important message. We did some arts and crafts; which he loved. I just feel so great right now and blessed to be able to assist and be there for those at church with special needs. I believe this is God’s calling for me. Happy Sunday to all my followers; may God bless you today.
Happy Sunday to you too…May the Lord always direct your steps to serve and bring you such joy in doing so.

You have such a big heart. As someone living with depression, I know how much lifting others up can help our own well-being in the process. I hope you continue to find meaning in your work.
