Taking care of the "father-less and widows" would be a great place to start, as long as you're doing it to glorify God. But if you have other motives, then not so much.
I think 1 Corinthians 10 is pretty self-explanatory. For example, eating and drinking are everyday, "mundane" activities -- yet, even in those seemingly little things, we should glorify God -- with our thanksgiving, with our gratitude, with praise for his goodness by supplying our needes, etc. And the text goes on to say -- "in whatever you do". That's limiting!?
The central purpose to life is to live for God. We do that when we honor him, trust him, love him, be faithful to him, be loyal to him, commune with him and enjoy his presence in our life, etc. God desires to have a genuine relationship with those whom has had made in his image.
