Being of Service

It is very important to be of service to others in life.  I have known this for a very long time and being of service is not always the easy thing to do.  For that reason, it is important to have service related activities built into your lifestyle.

For example, caring for an elderly relative or parent is something that many people work into their weekly schedule.  If they are lucky, they can take turns with others in being of sevice.  Checking on those in need or visiting relatives in a nursing home is a great service that many good people do on a regular basis.

Then there are many volunteer opportunities available to all.and I have witnessed firsthand the many giving caring people in our world who volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, the Cleveland Foodbank, or at food shelters that serve meals to the needy.  It is always heartwarming and encouraging to understand the giving nature of so many people in our world.

I would like to find more ways to be of service to others.  I would like to follow the example set by others I have witnesses so that I can be a role model like them.
