Now that's a lot of work

"K, I need a place to hang my work clothes." - easy
"Mom, I need a curtain for my bathroom." - easy
"Mom, I need a tablecloth." - easy
"Karen, I need some more medicine." - easy
"We need someone to provide a program for the Women's meeting." - easy
" I need you to work up the order of worship." - easy
" We need some new Sunday School curriculum." - easy

"We need a community where we can share questions, learn together, support one another, serve together...where we can be the church." - now that's not so easy

It is so easy to serve others when the thing needed is something I can just give or do. Helping others to work toward something can be much harder. Especially when they expect it to be just as easy.
