Joe Morris flavors his ice cream with ingredients ranging from chocolate and strawberries to green tea and dried chipotle peppers. Hes one of three ice-cream makers for a successful Texas company known for its quality, creativity, and innovation. But Joe hasnt forgotten why he does it.
He told reporter Ricardo Gándara that one of the longtime employees always reminded them, Why are we making ice cream? Its a happy food. Were here to make people happy. And thats why Joe Morris makes ice cream.
We know that its extremely important to remember the reason for what we do as followers of Jesus. If we forget, we become like the disciples when a dispute over who was most important created anger and division among them. Jesus reminded them that even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:35-45).
If our goal is to share the good news of Gods love with others, we wont become impersonal or harsh if someone resists or ridicules our appeal. As we follow our Lords path of loving service and sacrifice, we are reminded that He came to serve and save.
Thats the reason for everything we do.
Read: Mark 10:35-45
“He whose right was heavens glory
Chose to serve on earth below,
Leaving us a clear example
Of the love Hed have us show. D. De Haan
Keep your eyes on the Lord, and you wont lose sight of lifes purpose.”
