Tricky Service

 When being of service such as cooking a meal or baking for people, I must be careful that my action is not to enhance my need for appreciation.  Then, all would depend on being appreciated.  I can be a glutton for appreciation, and in that mode I never get enough.  I then end up becoming angry, resentful and judgmental of these people I am serving who don't appreciate me enough or do likewise service for me.  They become lazy, shiftless and selfish in my mind.  It is a terrible way to spend a day.  So I have to check myself, that I am being of service out of love, with no expectation of feedback or results from my efforts.
