How did you stumble across it? The verses that immediately came to mind were Matthew 25:31-46. I did a quick reference on blueletterbible.org and came up with a ton of related scriptures. I hope this link will take you to them. http://www.blueletterbible.org/study/tsk/tsk.cfm?b=Mat&c=25&v=35&t=KJV I think this is the very essence of who God is and who intends us to be. I hope you have a great day. Hi Dianne,

Sometimes it is very easy to serve and at other times, not at all, and I know that I have to nudge myself to step into those places of inconvenience. But each time I listen to the nudge, I am so grateful for I find that I end up feeling as though I have been the one who has been served in some way. And thank you for coming in at the crack of even before dawn yesterday morning! I know it allowed others to enjoy this weekend.

But washing dishes for someone who needs a helping hand -- that not only cleans the dishes, but cleanses our own life at the same time. Diapers? Well, I've changed a multitude. But, frankly, I'd rather wash a boatload of dishes.... Washing dishes for oneself is just a day to day obligation — maybe even a chore.

Diapers? Well, I’ve changed a multitude. But, frankly, I’d rather wash a boatload of dishes….
