Privilege or Obligation?

One of the things that I am constantly learning is that my attitude about things has a direct affect on how well I do them.

For example, I consider it an honor to get the opportunity to be at Barber Middle School at 6am on Sunday mornings to set-up for Freedom Church.  I could consider it an obligation because, as the Executive Pastor, I am expected to be there.  However, I believe that setting up the school is one of the ways that I can invest in those that are far from God.  By helping the school to be ready for our guests’ arrival, I have an important role in helping people to experience life in Christ.  Therefore, I actually look forward to getting there at 6am.  I view this role as extremely important!

What about you?  What can you view as a privilege instead of an obligation?  In doing so, how can you improve life for you and those around you?
