At times lately I felt felt overwhelmed.  So much to do!  And I am the first to admit that I am not the most efficient or organized individual!  And, because of that, I wonder if I am doing the things I should be doing.  Am I wasting my time?  Is it God's will?  Does a small turnout at our latest meeting mean that I am wasting my time?  Am I failing because of the fact that I got only half of the number of voluteers I was expecting for our last nursing home visitation?  Could someone do this better than me?  And so on...

But then I am reminded of something:  There sure are alot of "I's" in that list of questions.  All those "I's" mean that the focus is inward, towards myself.  The biggest reason that TheWorkmanshipGroups even exists is to decrease the "I" thoughts and actions, and instead to increase the "Us" or "We" actions.

So who cares about the numbers that I notice at our events, and isn't it rather selfish to worry about whether or not I am failing at this endeavor.  It's about others.  Even if "others" means one person!

Though we all need love in our lives, we grow the most through the act of loving rather than being loved. 

Am I loving...outwardly?  Then I am doing something right.
