Volunteering
Today’s Quote discussed the differences between providing assistance to a cause by:
* writing a check and providing financial resources, and
* helping out by volunteering your time.
Both are needed, but providing your time is a greater commitment and will serve not only the organization better, but it will be better for you. When you volunteer you will get a feeling of satisfaction and reward. You level of gratitude will increase.
Do you volunteer? Why? How do you feel when you do it? Please share your comments by clicking on the Comments link above.
Be Well.

I volunteer because that is the way I was brought up. My parents taught me that service to others is partial payment for the space we take up on this earth and the resources we use taking that space up. There is always time, there is always a need and there is always an opportunity…you don’t have to look far.
i volunteer at the food pantry every monday morning. for years i did meals-on-wheels but moving into a new community and driving a van instead of my own car is not easy for me. so i went with my neighbor who worked at the food pantry to see what all was involved and stayed that whole day and have been going for a year now. it is a blessing to be able to help get groceries for people who are so needy. we have families and also homeless people come. it is a gift to me to be able to do this.
i am looking forward to your daily quotes! and thank you very much!
