i heard a description of a servant this weekend that caught my attention. a person described a person who serves as someone who is able to be interrupted.
i have heard this aspect of serving used before but that didn't take away the weight of truth i encountered in the statement. i realized again how much i do not like to be interrupted when i have my plans set. in fact, i get very annoyed when something comes up.
an interruption to my plans just occurred and i already know that i need to be willing to be interrupted in order to truly serve the person who needs my help...

Speaking of interruptions, have you got a minute to talk?
ha ha...
No, that's a good comment. At the same time, one must always be aware about the difference between felt needs and real needs. Just because someone wants to interrupt you, doesn't mean that you are serving best by serving them. Sometimes, it is necessary to continue doing what you're doing in order to better serve the real need.
Leave it to someone selfish like me to say something like that!
