WHILE WE CAN

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

—Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941)

Only during the few years of this life are we given the privilege of serving each other and Christ. We will have heaven forever, but have only a short time for service here, and therefore must not waste the opportunity. —Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889–1933)

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.—Martin Luther (1483–1546)

If you’d stop to think about it, you’d probably be surprised at how many thoughtful little things you could find to do for others that would cost almost nothing and take almost no time. Become a master of the fiveminute favor.—Shannon Shayler
