Happy that servant if his master’s arrival finds him at this employment. I tell you truly, he will place him over everything he owns.
Lk.12:43,44
The Church is approaching the end of the calendar year and shifting her gaze to end times, to the master's return. Jesus' warning is consistent. We do not know the hour or the day of his return but we had best be at our God-given work when he does.
What is that God-given work? The title of "servant" gives a clue. Serving others does not come naturally for me. I'd much prefer it the other way round. Yet, Jesus promises happiness comes with servitude.
Let's give it a try...
Jesus, help me see you in those I meet today so I may serve them with joy.
