My happy place

I am most happy when I am in the service of my brother or sister.  Over they years, twelve years to be exact, I have seen the hand of the Lord at work, I have seen the pure love of Christ in action and let me tell you, it is AMAZING!

I was usually on the receiving side and it amazes me how people always show up at the right time, all the time.  Just when I thought "no more, I can't do it", someone walks into my life and makes such an impact on me and my family that we cannot help but try to give back.

If you suffer with depression, service is the best cure!  Seratonin is a chemical in our brains that control our moods.  It is usually referred to as the "happy feeling" hormone.  When we serve someone in need, our seratonin levels increasing causing a feeling of joy and happiness.  This is true not only for us, the giver, but the person on the receiving side.

I love having my very own support team.  My family is my support team.  We love to help each other and other people, as well, and when one of us have a project, we're 110% behind 'em!  The past couple of months we have been so blessed to be a part of a special little boy's life.



MJ Tokelau is a four year old boy that was diagnosed with cancer back in June of 2009.  He's such a sweet spirit and has bought many blessing to our family.  His mom is a strong woman--she is with him all hours of the day!  Her family, too, supports her in everything MJ does and need.  The Selu family emulate the love of Christ and I am so thankful to know them.

We were blessed to take part in a few events in honor of MJ.  (photos coming soon)
