JUNE 28 - JULY 4
Service
Hey Lightgliders!
My name is Nisha. I am one of the “quieter” Lightgliders. You may not notice me and I don’t mind that at all. You can make a powerful impact on the world without anyone ever knowing your name!
I was born and raised in India. Being the oldest of seven kids, I had a lot of responsibility with my brothers and sisters. They needed me to be consistent and caring. Do you have siblings? Having little brothers and sisters has taught me a lot about what it means to give without expecting much in return. I came to Lightglider Academy a bit nervous. There were so many big personalities and talented people here. Bryce is courageous. Tambika leads the Academy. Marlon is a genius. I didn’t know what I had to offer, so I just looked for ways to serve. I helped Bryce plan out Yonders missions in Mission Control. I assisted Kwan as he created new tech in the Innovation Lab. I worked with Tambika to organize new Treehouses for the Gliddles. One day Tova thanked me for doing the little things that seemed to go unnoticed. She said, “Nisha, you are so effective at making others effective! You increase the positive impact of those around you. And, for that, I say thank you!”
I guess I am learning that the little things make a big difference. It brings me joy to serve. Putting the needs of others before my own helps me to be humble and encourage others all at the same time!
Glide On!
Nisha
Things to Think About This Week:
Take some time this week to focus on Service and what it looks like for you to work behind the scenes to help others! Here are some reflection questions that will help.
• Read Mark 10:43 in the Bible. According to this verse, what makes the people of God different?
• Who do you know that is quiet and wise?
• What does it mean to show hospitality?
• In what ways might you serve those around you today?
