I made this little chant recording based on something Jesus said (Luke 22.27); “I am among you as one who serves”. What a gentle way to be – among (not above) us as “one who serves”, and how unexpected it is for a leader to say this and to embody it:

There’s a lot of talk about leaders serving, and many do. I am thanking God for them today. But I think for leaders the lure of power and popularity is strong and may tempt us to forget the invitation we have to serve others.
Service is tiring and can be discouraging. It may feel like we are making no difference at all. But maybe we are when we embody this attitude? This is more for those used to privilege, as I am. Those who have endured service and labour and grinding poverty with little or no choice I think perhaps need to hear that Jesus is with them to serve them for once. 🙏💕

Oui ma chère Ali, je ressens que tu es parmi nous…. merci pour ce très beau texte. A part le fait que tu serves et que tu suives en cela Jésus… Comment vas-tu ? Ici la vie suit son cours, le printemps me remplit de joie… petites balades en forêt, beaucoup de flûte et de lecture, des contacts amicaux. Bernard vient très souvent, Jacques seulement tous les deux mois, il a pas mal de problèmes de santé. Mais sa tête fonctionne encore très bien et il est toujours amoureux à 87 ans. Cela fait 8 ans que nous sommes ensemble et cette relation me rend heureuse.
J’ai la nostalgie de toi, viendras tu me revoir un jour ? Je t’embrasse bien affectueusement Heidi
