Recently I was picking up trash after a particular weekly event was over for the night. I was thinking about how I pick up after students a couple of times a week. I thought to myself, "do I really want to be picking up trash for students when I'm in my 60's?"
Like most people, picking up trash is not one of my favorite things to do. What helps me is often when I pick up trash I think about how Jesus cleaned up the mess in my life and continues to do so. After I picked up a few more items I answered my question to myself, "yeah! I absolutely want to be picking up trash for students when I am in my 60's and probably when I am in my 70's. It is a great privilege to serve students and to see some of them meet God and grow in Him. I want to do that in some capacity as long as God allows me."
