Asset of the Week: Service to Others
Don’t take the attitude of “It’s not my job.
How many times have you asked your child to help out with a chore in the house and the response you received was, "It's not my job."  Not a good thing to say. 
The next time you hear these four words talk about the importance of working as a team player not only in your family but at school, work and in your community. 
More importantly, talk about the value of having a servant attitude. 
For more information read Isaiah 6 or Romans 12:9-13.
