Therein is the difference, Sherri...it's in the heart and mindset of the individual giving and receiving.

If someone has enough respect to want to serve in this capacity, that is one thing.

When it is demanded and expected, that is another.

I always like to remember the story of Elisha and Elijah...

A servant was trying to describe who Elisha was. With all of the great things God did through him, what stood out in the mind of the servant was this...

That Elisha poured water for the man of God...
