Sometimes ministry is mundane.

Loads of laundry for little people and Bible stories before bed.

Encouraging text messages and phone calls to check in when you feel the Holy Spirit prompt you.

A consistent life lived before your friends and family that testifies to God’s grace in words and deeds.

A meal left on the front porch in times of need and grief.

It’s the way you choose grace in moments of frustration. The way you help point to the Author of peace in moments of uncertainty. The way you show kindness in a world that’s less than kind.

It’s taking time to pray for others, in the grocery store, at your job, in your home.

It’s more than just for Sunday and for more than your church platform. It’s for more than just the preacher.

It’s for me.

It’s for you.

Sometimes ministry looks like preaching and Sunday morning church, and sometimes ministry looks like Monday morning breakfast for the family that you have and Thursday phone calls to that friend.

There are more opportunities than we realize in the mundane. There are more chances to minister than we realize today.
