· Matthew 6:1–4
Some necessary work attracts very little notice. Washing a cup, checking on a neighbour or keeping a difficult promise can still express real love. Choose a task for the good it does, while remembering that sharing the load is also a good thing.
A question to sit with
What quiet act of care is possible?
One small step
Do one useful task and thank someone for theirs.
Pray
Jesus, teach me to serve with a free heart and receive the care of others. Amen.
